The root cause of this bug is that gwave is long unmaintained and is built with obsolete quile-1.8, whereas the rest of the system, and in particular guile-gnome2-glib is built with quile-2.0.
When rebuilding gwave from source I'm getting the very same core dump behavior. The right thing to do is to upgrade gwave to use quile-2.0, avoiding quile-1.8 completely, also quile-1.8 is being obsolted upstream. On top of that gwave autoconf (configure.ac) is not well written in relation to up to date version of guile-gnome2 , so cleaning up that area would help a lot as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302586 Title: gwave crashed with SIGSEGV in scm_string_hash() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwave/+bug/1302586/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
