ncmpcpp crashing

dr0p · 2009-02-09 00:07:53

Well, I ran a -Syu somewhat recently, and it installed a new version of ncmpcpp and ever since then it gives this error when I try to run it:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Aborted

I have been using ncmpc as a replacement, but it doesn't have some of the features that ncmpcpp had that I really liked. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't know what the error is from, but I've been using the git version from AUR, as well as mpd-git, for a while. I rebuild them now and then, and have never experienced any crashes.

Sorry, should have said, I tryed the git version from the AUR as well, same error. Also, x86_64.

I'm on 64 bit also.

That's one pain-in-the-ass error to search for. 5,000,000,000,000 hits with no answers. I'm guessing that you know this by now. So this isn't tied into MPD at all, just the client?

Yeah, ncmpc runs fine.

dr0p what's with the boxxy avatar? you're a /b/tard aren't you? lol

The error seems to be fairly common across lots of different software. I've been running into a bunch of incidences (not for ncmpcpp, but for other stuff) in Debian based distros. It seems as if every time the problem was "solved", it was simply by completely removing any other occurrences of the program and reinstalling. I can't find any explanation of why it works, but it seems to help many. If you haven't already tired, I'd completely remove ncmpcpp-git, delete the src file in the build directory if you have it on your system, and rebuild.

Not overly, much more of a /cd/tard.

Okay, removed the package and am currently searching my entire system for "ncmpcpp".

Edit: I deleted EVERY file and folder that had 'ncmpcpp' in it and I tried installing again, same error. In case it's some sort of conflict, here are all of my installed packages: http://pastebin.com/f2a3b9ac5

dr0p, can you paste a backtrace of crashing ncmpcpp here? that's a bug in ncmpcpp, but I have no idea where null string can be constructed. if you don't know, what backtrace is, see http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/faq.php
