Re: XMCD (fwd)

[Matt Thompson <mattyt@oz.net>]

hi, all,

just wanted you to be in on this thread.  i didn't know who the xmcd
package maintainer is, so i thought i'd post it here, since xmcd seems to
only be available in hamm.

occasionally, with certain cd's, xmcd will seem to work fine for the first
15 seconds, or so, then, well, see below...:)

i also thought that whoever is maintaining xmcd could answer ti's
questions below.

thanks,
matty

OK, then this definitely points to something hokey in the realloc()
service.  Did you compile the xmcd binary yourself?  If so, did you
use the libmalloc library or did you use the malloc services in the libc?
(i.e., was there -lmalloc in the final link phase to create the xmcd
binary)?  Also, are you using real OSF/Motif or LessTif?  If the latter,
what version?

Ti:

the xmcd i am running was compiled in a package provided by Debian
GNU/Linux.  As you can see, I've forwarded this to one of the lists in the
hope that some of your questions regarding the libraries can get answered.
I can tell you that I am using LessTif v0.81-0.5.

hope this helps,
matty
