As I feared. If you've got the developer mentality, forge ahead. If not, forget about it :-) You have to recompile those programs with debugging flags. make configure the port, take a look at the software Makefile (the one in work/<portname>-<portversion>/), and look for a line that starts with CFLAGS=. Add ` -g' (without the quotes, of course), to the end. Run make inside the software directory (/usr/ports/<category>/<port>/work/<port>-<portversion>/). Take the newly produced executable (it should be either in the directory you ran 'make' in, or one of the subdirectories) and run it under gdb (gdb myexecutable). Type `run' at the gdb prompt. When it crashes, type `bt'. Send us the output :-) > > There is no /etc/malloc.conf file. Should there be?
