Newbee question - WARNING: /root/.frysk/.settings not found. Will be created on program exit - Segmentation fault I'm trying to build/run Frysk on RHEL4/U3 - it looks like it builds cleanly - some tests report this error, though: [root@stacks4 tests]# pwd /opt/frysk-src/frysk/build/frysk-gtk/tests [root@stacks4 tests]# make check make check-TESTS make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/frysk-src/frysk/build/frysk-gtk/tests' PASS: frysk1497/JNICrash FAIL: frysk1497/IterTest FAIL: frysk1497/IterTest.gij FAIL: frysk2333/TestGlibTimerGC =================== 3 of 4 tests failed =================== make[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/frysk-src/frysk/build/frysk-gtk/tests' make: *** [check-am] Error 2 Anyway, when I try to run Frysk, these errors occur: [root@stacks4 frysk]# ./build/frysk-gui/frysk/gui/FryskGui 18-Apr-06 9:59:55 AM frysk.gui.Gui importPreferences WARNING: /root/.frysk/.settings not found.

These are upstream bugs (GCC, Java-GNOME) fixed since RHEL 4 U3 was shipped: FAIL: frysk1497/IterTest FAIL: frysk1497/IterTest.gij FAIL: frysk2333/TestGlibTimerGC for details on the specific bugs see 1497, and 2333 in this bug database. The downstream, RHEL 4 re-spin tracker is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187445 and both GCC (to 4.1) and Java-GNOME will need to be updated. I'll clone the start-up barf; I suspect it's a duplicate.
Renamed subject to be more topical. This is caused by by Comment #3 as indicated by Andrew Cagney. The register window uses some code that was illustrated in the test code shown in $3. This code fails on RHEL 4 with a 4.0.1 compiler. On a compiler respin to 4.1 this should (hopefully) be fixed. The .settings file message is a red herring as that is the last message that the users sees before the crash, though it does not crash on .settings load.
