Crash: Gimp, Mozilla Calendar
I'm running my own 2.6.1 kernel on SuSE 9.0, as described in a previous message. The problems here happened on the standard 2.4.21 kernel as well. They do not happen on the standard 2.4.21 32-bit kernel (i.e. the standard 32-bit SuSE 9.0 distribution) running on the same hardware. I'm using the standard versions of these programs, as they came with SuSE 9.0 1. The Gimp crashes when I try to use the "Image->Scale Image" function. This does not crash on 32-bit SuSE 9.0 (running on the same hardware). I assume this is almost certainly due to a problem with 32-bit plug-ins on a 64-bit build of the Gimp. For now, I would like to use a 32-bit Gimp build but don't know how to go about it. Any suggestions? 2. Mozilla Calendar (1.4) crashes when I try to add an event to the calendar. This does not crash on 32-bit SuSE 9.0 (running on the same hardware). I briefly found a version of Mozilla Calendar 1.5 that did not crash: http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/suse-people/kraxel/9.0-x86_64/x86_64/ However, I rebuild my system many times (trying to solve kernel problems) and when I went back to download Mozilla again, the version I got (1.6) did crash again. I've written to kraxel and believe he's submitting a bug report to Bugzilla. Any suggestions on maybe trying to re-compile Mozilla? Maybe I could compile a 32-bit version of that too... Thanks, -- Bob

Works for me. I just scaled an image a few times using this command in the 9.0 gimp and it worked just fine.

Delete the existing gimp rpm using rpm -e or yast. Then download a 32bit gimp rpm. Then install the later.

I can reproduce that.

Should work. Follow the same procedure as above with mozilla. However mozilla has dependencies into gnome, so it may be a bit more difficult. In the worst case use rpm --nodeps -Andi

This is known issue in Gimp, we will produce an online update via YOU (non-64-bit clean code in Gimp).

Get the 32-bit one if you're desparate - ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/Mozilla or so has pre-build binaries... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
