Hi there, I tried to compile Lars' latest work on cvs and managed to get cxx compile it (after the usual set of tricks that I'll commit later). However, it dies at startup and ladebug (dec debugger) says: (ladebug) where >0 0x3ff800edea8 in __kill(0x2288, 0x6, 0xffffffffffefffff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x14009ef00) >"DebugInformationStrippedFromFile296" #1 0x3ff801a4c38 in UnknownProcedure17FromFile12(0x2288, 0x6, 0xffffffffffefffff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x14009ef00) in /usr/shlib/libc.so #2 0x3ff80116300 in __tis_raise(0x2288, 0x6, 0xffffffffffefffff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x14009ef00) in /usr/shlib/libc.so #3 0x3ff801638c0 in raise(0x2288, 0x6, 0xffffffffffefffff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x14009ef00) in /usr/shlib/libc.so #4 0x3ff8017a8e8 in abort(0x2288, 0x6, 0xffffffffffefffff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x14009ef00) in /usr/shlib/libc.so #5 0x12022b2c0 in Assert(assertion='\000') "../../../lyx-devel/src/support/LAssert.h":14 #6 0x12022bff8 in ((lyxstringInvariant*)0x11ffff068)->helper() "../../../lyx-devel/src/support/lyxstring.C":352 #7 0x12022bf04 in ((lyxstringInvariant*)0x11ffff068)->lyxstringInvariant(ls=0x14007df88) "../../../lyx-devel/src/support/lyxstring.C":329 #8 0x12022c998 in ((lyxstring*)0x14007df88)->operator =(x=const class { ... }) "../../../lyx-devel/src/support/lyxstring.C":526 #9 0x1200e5014 in ((Bullet*)0x14007df80)->generateText() "../../lyx-devel/src/Bullet.C":93 #10 0x1200e4e40 in ((Bullet*)0x14007df80)->Bullet(f=0, c=8, s=-1) "../../lyx-devel/src/Bullet.C":41 #11 0x1200dfe58 in __init_sti__BufferView_C_b315e4c1() "../../lyx-devel/src/Bullet.h~alt~deccxx_4AFD14CC":274 #12 0x1202cace8 in ./lyx It seems we are bitten again by the static constant problem, _or_ that Lars added yet another new assertion. Lars, do you have hints? Otherwise, I'll have to try to find the problem that hard way, but it will be long. JMarc
