xmms geting error on starting

I just installed a fresh copy of Arch today comming from Gentoo, and all is well except I am getting this error when trying to run xmms:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0xb6f545a4 ***
Aborted

I have tryed reinstalling it, but no go.

Any way to fix this?

Thanks!!!

Re: xmms geting error on starting

from a gentoo forum  wink  , it seems a problem with flac 1.1.2. 
Try downgrading flac:
Download http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di … pkg.tar.gz
then:
pacman -U flac-1.1.1-2.pkg.tar.gz

Ok, cool. I will try that. So, basically, I would download that file and put it in, say, my home dir, then run the pacman command?

Thanks!!!

yes, usually old packages do not sit around on the mirrors... so if you need to downgrade to a really old version, you'd have to use abs to build the package yourself (usually just stepping down a version number)...

Re: xmms geting error on starting

Isn't this a bug in the xmms or flac package?

Re: xmms geting error on starting

It's flac, it installs some plugins for xmms. The problem with this shitty library is that it seems to been built against the flac that was on the maintainer's system and not the one that was in the build-tree. The flac binary to encode files is also linked against a lib that's not even in the package.

Hmm; that is indeed kindof shitty big_smile Can't another maintainer rebuild the package? smile
