[sylpheed:33340] Re: segmentation fault w/ ubuntu 9.10

[Mateu X Hunter]

Thanks NG for the advice.  

I'm getting "not in executable format" although i can execute it.  Here's the steps I took:

hunter at wisdom:~/D/sylpheed-3.0.0beta2$ gdb src/sylpheed

(gdb) run
Starting program:
No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.
(gdb)

Btw, the packaged version for ubuntu 9.10 which is sylpheed 2.7.1 does not segfault on mail send.

|  
|  You can use gdb like this (in a shell) :
|  
|  gdb sylpheed
|  (gdb) run
|  
|  The segmentation fault should produce a useful backtrace.
