i see exactly two... the two files mentioned in the initial report.

I can confirm this. There is also 65-nonlatin.conf, but with 8065 bytes it has less than 8192 bytes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Seems on my 12.2 system Google-earth crashes for different reasons. Doesn't help to remove these config symlinks.

Hmm, I can say the opposite. google-earth is starting at least after removing config symlinks in question. Weird.

Think positive. Now can investigate and try fixing the issue. At least for the reporter and yourself. ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[...] The segfault was traced down to reading one of the XML font files and the "culprit" was libexpat. The remedy was to rebuild expat-2.1.0.tar.gz with -Bsymbolic-functions passed along to the linker: LDFLAGS='-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions' ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install Then I was able to use the stock, as-shipped Google Earth binaries and libraries with no other hacks at all. Evidently, there are some UTF and XML symbol clashes between libexpat.so.1 and GE's libbase.so libraries. By using -Bsymbolic-functions in libexpat, overridden symbols in the GE libbase.so shared library are ignored. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But prefixing Xml* functions is forgotten. Maybe because, according to expat.h they are not meant to be exported and should be hidden. For expat@openSUSE, this tried to resolve expat-visibility.patch, but thanks to two typos there it doesn't work, see above commit. Its aim is to hide all symbols (-fvisibility=hidden) and explicitely name exported symbols (__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))). Hope my findings are correct. @Mathias: please try to install libexpat1-32bit (!!!) package from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pgajdos:/maintenance:/expat/... Does google-earth start then? Be careful: Question: does this change break ABI? @Vojta: please consider what to do with the bug for 12.2 now. If I understand correctly, wrong are both sides, libexpat and libbase because of exporting private symbols.
