[MPlayer-users] bugreport(?): mencoder segfaults (FAQ)

[Jonas Jermann]

Hi

I just wrote a mail to the mplayer-user list, but I couldn't 
solve my problem. I assume, that my mail has been ignored 
because it was again a simple rtfm question or because there are 
no resulutions. Sorry for posting it again:

I use a recent (daily) Debian-sid, linux-2.4.17, libc-2.2.4, 2.95.4, 
ld/as 2.11.92.0.12.3 20011121, Pentium III 600Mhz, Matrox G400 
DH 32MB. (XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 with DRI, SBLive!)
I use the latest mplayer-cvs.

Everything compiles fine, but if I try to start mencoder, 
all I get is a "Segmentation fault", nothing more. 
This has been like this for some time but I didn't write to the 
list because something like this is already mentioned in the 
FAQ (at the end of 5.1). But I have been told me, that this 
isn't my problem because I could compile mencoder..
I just wanted to know if there is a simple solution to my 
problem or not: Probably I just forget something important...

I have no idea how to write bugreports or to use gdb, so I 
just followed the instructions and some advices of a friend:
installed libc6-dbg set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/debug,
make distclean, recompile with --enable-debug, started gdb 
mencoder, run, bt, disass...
The strange thing is, that the gdb doesn't give me any symbols(?)
(probably I did something wrong because I have no idea how to 
make those things) I also made a ltrace -d and strace of mencoder 
and logged the compile warnings. (Is there anything else I could 
add?)


Thanks in advance for any help

Jonas
