[solved] git instaweb: blank page

If I run git instaweb I get:

[xan@argonia apunts-acces-uib-per-a-majors-de-25-anys]$ git instaweb

(process:5009): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[xan@argonia apunts-acces-uib-per-a-majors-de-25-anys]$ 
(process:5012): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

and blank page in the firefox.

I don't know why? Anyone could help me?

Re: [solved] git instaweb: blank page

I had a similar problem and resolved it by installing perl-cgi

$ sudo pacman -S perl-cgi

And now this works

$ cd my-git-project-root
$ git instaweb

Specifically I was getting a 500 error with "Premature end of script headers: /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi" and I then tried running the script

$ cd /usr/share/gitweb/ 
$ ./gitweb.cgi
Can't locate CGI.pm in @INC (you may need to install the CGI module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at ./gitweb.cgi line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./gitweb.cgi line 13.

So that prompted the installation of perl-cgi.

Re: [solved] git instaweb: blank page

It can be a couple of things.. Permissions, config of repo folders, not using bare repos... These are just some problems that crossed my mind.

Re: [solved] git instaweb: blank page

Thanks a lot, eldog. It works now. Perhaps in the package we should mark it with perl-cgi dependency, should we?
