Re: Bug#343129: xemacs / libX11 / NVIDIA crashes on opteron under kernel 2.6.14-2

Also, Debian supplies -dbg packages for the X libraries, so you would be able to get useful traces. You just use LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or something like that) to get the debug libraries loaded instead of the usual ones.

But note that not only is he running 64 bits, he's also got an Opteron. It's still very unlikely, but 64 bit issues in XEmacs are unlikely to have all been weeded out yet, and this is the first report I can recall for an Opteron host. So it would be good to check. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
