sb> What version of libpng? Have you tried it with 1.0.2 and zlib sb> 1.1.2 (patched) or zlib 1.1.3? libpng.so.2.0, from the libpng2 debian package versioned 1.0.1-0.2 libz.so.1.1.2 from zlib1g 1:1.1.2-0.1 Looks like I'm a version behind yous. Are the changes something that might fix this crash? Are the newer versions out there? I will look for a newer deb of it, and can report a bug against the package, saying that "a new upstream version has been released, please update your package". sb> What version of EGCS? There have been some problems with the sb> latest snapshots. Does the same thing happen if you turn off sb> file-coding? I haven't tried it straight no-Mule or no-Mule sb> with file coding, and I build with EGCS/PGCC 1.0.3. egcc 2.90.29-0.6, from source version 1.0.3a-0.6 I have not tried to turn off file coding, yet. If that cures it, I'll post. First I have to try and get pcmcia-cs working on the darn laptop so I can net to my desktop workstation, and thus through to the Internet. I've been sneakernetting the crash typescripts on a floppy. Grrr.
