Zitat von Jerome Tuncer columbiatwo@free.fr:
Hello list...
Don't if it's the right place to post for such a thing, sorry if not...
I run Pd 0.40-test7 on Debian Linux and when loading most of Gem's pix_ objecs help I get an error in the term running pd which locks all of pd functions : menus are still available but do not execute any actions when clicked...
The error is of the form :
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xa5d2fb68 ***
Except that the pointer varies from times to times of course...
As stated I only get the crash with pix_* objects' help patches. Instantiating the objects themselves in a blank window doesn't seem to cause any problems...
Any ideas on where it can come from?
yes, this is a known issue on debian/testing systems. unfortunately it is not a bug in Gem but rather a problem with the combination of libstdc++ and nvidia-drivers (i guess you are using them)
Gem uses exception-handling for various errors, like not being able to load an image with [pix_image] or not finding a FreeFrame-plugin. the above mentioned bug crashes applications which throw an error (even though it gets caught)
this bug is already filed in the debian bug-tracker, though it doesn't seem to be high-priority. there are some workarounds, which you can find at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364907
