Run GQview from a terminal, are any warning messages printed before the crash?

If you get a locale encoding mismatch type warning prior to crashing, this is a
known bug - but please let me/the list know if this is the case.


Otherwise, a gdb backtrace might be helpful to point out the location of the
crash:

 in gqview's src directory:

   make clean

   make CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2"

   (-O2 and -Wall are optional, but at least -Wall will print any compile
warnings not normally shown)

   make install

   (the steps up to this point are to rebuild the gqview binary with debugging
info)

 then run:

   gdb gqview

   type "r", press enter

   (gqview should try to start, and if you are lucky, crash)

   in gdb type "bt", press enter

   send me the resulting output (CC the list at your option)


Oh, and having the GTK 2 library up to date (latest is 2.2.4) can not hurt.


Greetings,
John
