Re: Sylpheed Segmentation Fault

WTF can't we get the borked enchant-1.5.x ripped out of the repo until it is fit for purpose and of merchantable quality

Yeah, I'm sure that someone will get right on that when you ask like that. I agree that this is annoying but downgrading isn't that big of an issue.

Anyway, vote this up on the bugtracker.

Having to downgrade for the 3rd time, while flatout on other work tends to raise the blood temperature.

I apologise for my out burst.

@Cheifchimp
Use "pacman -Syu --ignore enchant" when syncing the system or add "enchant" to the Ignore list in pacman.conf in the meantime.

I've done so now, at the time I SHOULD have done it I had too much happening and thought a fix would be available sooner.

Now back to setting up my Belkin wifie router / USB dongle to my worn out thinkpad

Re: Sylpheed Segmentation Fault

Sylpheed stops crashing if spell checking is turned on in configuration (Compose => Spell Checking). 'en' is selected as default language. Hope this helps.

@seirge

Nice find. That should help locate the bug quickly too.

Welcome to the forum btw. It's always nice to see someone step in just to contribute.

Re: Sylpheed Segmentation Fault

I'm afraid seirge's fix hasn't worked for me.  Had to downgrade enchant to 1.4.2 again.

Re: Sylpheed Segmentation Fault

I had the same problem here.  Tried debugging, got tired, switched to Claws.  Worked perfectly.

Re: Sylpheed Segmentation Fault

I tried to recompile sylpheed. It fails in the configure-step. Error in config.log is:
