Unable to start FS-UAE because of segmentation fault [Solved]

Hi all,

I've compiled the latest development release of FS-UAE (2.1.34dev), and when I run it, I get a "Segmentation fault". I can also mention that I tried compiling the latest stable version, and got the same result.

I'm using Slackware 14.0 64-bit (32-bit enabled), and compiled it using make optimize=0 CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC". I have analyzed both the logs and the strace when I ran the fs-uae binary, but I am not able to determine the root cause of the problem.

Anyone with more debug experience than me who would care to give it a shot? :-)

Regards,
Vegard

It would help if you ran FS-UAE through gdb, for example:

gdb --args fs-uae --no-initial-input-grab --no-automatic-input-grab

and post the stack trace!
(the extra args are to prevent your input from being grabbed when GDB pauses the crashed process).

Hi Frode! Awesome to get replies directly from the developer :-)

I did as you suggested, and collected a stacktrace using gdb. I have attached the log file.

This information helped me pinpoint the root cause of my troubles, which was libGL.so.1. Apparently the file was missing, and I remember now that I replaced my ATI fglrx driver with the open source radeon driver a couple of weeks ago. When I removed fglrx, it must have removed libGL.so.1 as well.

The problem was solved by reinstalling the packages bundling opengl, and restarting fs-uae.

Thanks for the tip!
