Segfault when Startings Wings3d

I can confirm this problem, allthough i do not use an SMP system.

I can confirm this on amd64 with Edgy (final).

I can confirm this too. On AMD64 non-SMP. The problems lies in libsdl-erlang and not in Wings3D.

If you run any samples in libsdl-erlang, you get a segfault:

Partial backtrace in the driver:

....

I can confirm the problem lies in libsdl-erlang. If you try to compile libsdl-erlang after getting the source with apt-get source, you'll notice that it doesn't seem to be compatible with the installed erlang version.
I solved the problem by installing a debian package with a new version of libsdl-erlang from here:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libsdl-erlang

I think the current version could be integrated unmodified in Ubuntu to fix the problem.

That's exactly what Sergei Golovan from Erlang Packagers has told me. libsdl-erlang should be updated.

Confirmed on Edgy.

Wings3D on AMD64 edgy

Confirmed again.

Edgy on an IBM T40 laptop

Incidentally I ran this same build of Wings3D on windows and it crashed with similar conditions, though I unfortunately dont have the bug report any longer.

-R

erlang-base crash when starting Wings 3D

confirmed yet again.

Has anyone found a workaround? Some other way of installing it to get it running?

In order to get Wings3D running, just do what Jonathan and Francois-Denis said: update libsdl-erlang.

Go to
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libsdl-erlang

and scroll down to find the appropriate download for your architecture. Download the .deb file, and install. Easy as that.

(You will get a warning that an older, better-supported version is available.)

/var/crash/_usr_lib_erlang_erts-5.5.1_bin_beam.1000.crash

I get this error also. :(

stated fix works perfectly and takes 2 seconds, tho :)

I tried it too, it works !!!!

Thanks !!!

I believed this is fixed in hardy BETA.

I started wings3d without any trouble. Could please someone who had the trouble confirm that this does not occur in Hardy?

Thanks

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate that the problem has not been fixed already, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

I can confirm that running wings3d 0.98.36-5 with libsdl-erlang 0.96.0626-7 under the current Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy release results in the following crash:

I am happy to post additional info, just clue me in. I'll add myself to the watch list.

For the issue found again in the current version (Hardy), please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down the problem.

Slight problem: Following the instructions results in the following:

Yes, I did look at the script file. It uses /usr/bin/erl to launch the application. This too is a script. Not sure what to do from here.

Vik :v)

I can't duplicate this in Intrepid; wings3d no longer crashes on startup and works fine on three machines here. Marking fix released.

If you're reporting a Wings3D crash, don't reopen this one unless the crash prevents you from opening WIngs3D at all. Anything else is a separate issue.
