I did a completely fresh install (deleted old lib and share directory and .xmms) of xmms 1.2.10 from source. It works fine, with no complaint. Then I installed FLAC 1.1.2 from source (again, fresh install, deleted old libraries). xmms now segfaults on startup. If I delete the FLAC plugin, xmms works again. I tried configuring FLAC with both: --enable-sse and --disable-asm-optimizations --disable-3dnow --enable-debug with no difference in the result. Other FLAC functionality works fine--can encode and decode with command line flac, no problem. Linux 2.4.29, glibc 2.3.2, gcc 3.3.4, dual Pentium III __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
