I installed Xiphos on my Fedora 14 / Dell Inspirion 530 and it worked great. I installed 5 Bibles and changed the display font. Then added some tabs and tried to add a parallel text. After closing it, whenever I start it again, it gives the splash screen and seg faults and closes. ran it from terminal to see if it left a message. Here it is: ** (xiphos:7024): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_box_gap: assertion `height >= -1' failed So I said, Hey, no problem. I'll just delete the modifications I made and It will run like a champ again. However, finding where xiphos puts this info has eluded me. Where does Xiphos hide this file? Does anyone have any helpful ideas on getting my Xiphos working again? I tried add/remove software and removed it and re-installed it, but the same thing happens. I guess it doesn't delete the config file on un-install. Is deleting the config file a good idea? Thanks William. |

If you have the time, we'd appreciate it if you could do a quick bit of analysis to help us understand how it failed: http://ftp.xiphos.org/sword/debugging/xiphos-backtrace The particular message you got is non-critical (notwithstanding it being called "CRITICAL"), it's just an internal glitch. Something bigger/deeper is going on when you get the splash and then a failure. We'd like to know what. ---------------------------------------- Project Admin, Xiphos |

Thanks Ransom and Karl. The fix worked like a charm. Much appreciated. Here is the debug info you requested: (gdb) r Starting program: /usr/bin/xiphos [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb7dd7b70 (LWP 11867)] [New Thread 0xb7268b70 (LWP 11868)] [New Thread 0xb68ffb70 (LWP 11869)] [New Thread 0xb60feb70 (LWP 11870)] [New Thread 0xb58fdb70 (LWP 11871)] [New Thread 0xb0d64b70 (LWP 11872)] ** (xiphos:11864): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_box_gap: assertion `height >= -1' failed [New Thread 0xb04e1b70 (LWP 11873)] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x080a19b1 in BackEnd::get_entry_attribute(char const*, char const*, char const*) () (gdb) bt #0 0x080a19b1 in BackEnd::get_entry_attribute(char const*, char const*, char const*) () #1 0x080bce51 in get_heading(sword::SWBuf&, BackEnd*, int) () #2 0x080bcfb8 in main_update_parallel_page () #3 0x080915be in gui_notebook_main_switch_page () #4 0x08093755 in gui_notebook_main_setup () #5 0x08097fc1 in frontend_display () #6 0x080b58a2 in main () (gdb) k Kill the program being debugged?
