It even displays the crossword grid (with no text) and immediately segfaults. If run with no command-line argument it starts normally and presents the File Open dialogue. Trying to open the puzzle causes the segfault (I tried several different puzzles just in case). Just for the hell of it I also tried both versions from the NYT site (one is statically linked to the Motif lib, the other is dynamic). Interestingly, they are both different from the one I have, and neither will even attempt to run: $ ./acrossl bash: ./acrossl: /lib/ld-linux.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory ldd of course doesn't help here, since it needs to run the binary. However I suspect it wants the i386 version of glibc rather than the installed i686 (which coincides with my original post even for the wrong reason). I'm not sure I can even install the i386 glibc without wreaking havoc. > [sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 > /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 > [sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ ./acrossl > ./acrossl: symbol lookup error: ./acrossl: undefined symbol: __eh_pc > > That appears more googlable, but at this point I have to admit I lost > interest...

I prefer crosswords on Paper :o) I don't have access to any interesting newspaper crosswords on paper, as I live outside the distribution area of the English-language press. In any case, some NYT clues are impossible without encyclopedic knowledge of American sports teams and personalities, so Google is a requirement "in extremis". poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
