When I run an svga program, say for example sabre, it segfaults on the mouse initialization, which has an fprintf in it. I believe this problem is an incompatibility with the new libc libraries and gcc 2.95. A recompile fixed it, although gcc 2.95 had trouble with the invalid __asm__ statements in svgalib. (Sorry, I have no patch for the __asm__ stuff, I used the C equivalents in my compile.) Here is the backtrace info for the core dump I got: [cdfrey: ~/games/sabre-0.2.4] gdb src/sabre core GNU gdb 4.18 [snip] #0 0x401eb188 in main_arena () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x401eb188 in main_arena () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x2b in ??
