Can you recompile with debug symbols, please? And of course you also have to reproduce the error. :) Also please provide more information how this happened.

[tiran]

Is "./configure --enable-debug && make && sudo make install" sufficient to recompile licq with debug symbols? Should I do a make clean first and should I recompile the KDE plugin, too?

I'm running Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS. Do I have to install any additional packages with debug support?

[root_42]

Yes, do make clean and also rebuild the kde-plugin (important!). --enable-debug might work. Check if the compile commands contain the '-g' switch. If not, call configure like this:

CXXFLAGS="-g" ./configure ...

That forces debug symbols, too.

Just wanted to add that --enable-debug does work. I use it all the time.

Replying to root_42:

Yes, do make clean and also rebuild the kde-plugin (important!). --enable-debug might work. Check if the compile commands contain the '-g' switch. If not, call configure like this: CXXFLAGS="-g" ./configure ... That forces debug symbols, too.

--enable-debugs adds the C++ flag '-g'. But licq and the kde plugin are still compiled with optimization -O2. AFAIK optimizations are making it harder to debug bugs.

[root_42]

tiran, did you get any more crashes? If not, I would close this bug report, since without a backtrace with symbols this is unfixable.

[erijo]

As root_42 said, without a better backtrace this is unfixable => INVALID.
