gnumeric crashes
I upgraded to potato from slink yesterday, and the process was in
general very smooth indeed---the easiest upgrade I've done.
I'm left with one problem though. Gnumeric seg-faults every time it's
called. This is a disappoinment, because one of the reasons that I
wanted to do this upgrade was the improved quality of gnumeric in
potato over slink (I use it on a different machine which I had
upgraded to potato some months ago; it works OK there).
The crash happens under kernel 2.0.36 and under the pre-release of
2.2.17 that ships with potato.
I've looked at the bug reports against gnumeric and taken some steps
on that basis (upgrading to libglade0 v.13) but the problem continues.
I haven't got all of Gnome installed---just enough to run gnumeric.
Has anyone else experienced such a problem?
Below is the extent of the debugging I've been able to do.
I'd really appreciate any help or advice,
Jim
