Bus Error with Xine

Whenever I try to run something which loads Xine, it crashes with Bus Error. VLC runs just fine and I have reinstalled as much as I know how. Not sure where to take this from here.

Posting the exact error would help.

This is all I get. If I run with -v, I get pages of plugin loading followed by "Bus Error" and it halts.

Re: Bus Error with Xine

You may need to run something like gdb or strace to find exactly where the error is happening. A quick Google search seams to imply that it's choking on some plug-in. If you don't know these programs, this is a good link for gdb:

I linked the instructions that will help you.

I get the following output when running gdb:

Though, except that the files in question are part of glibc and libxine, I'm not sure what I'm seeing.

Re: Bus Error with Xine

Would any other information be useful for figuring this out?

Re: Bus Error with Xine

I'm hoping someone will jump in here that can see something. I installed a xine frontend to see if I could reproduce your error and I can't. I found that xine (at least through gxine) is very buggy on my machine.

Re: Bus Error with Xine

Thanks for your attempt.

If it helps, Xine was working before, but due to a hard drive failure I figured I would reinstall. This is a fresh installation.
