The ical calendar program stopped working when I upgraded from FC4 to
FC5. Oddly, it didn't stop when I did the upgrade, but shortly later,
when I did a major "yum upgrade". I haven't been able to figure out
which is the bad guy in the "yum upgrade" -- lots of packages upgraded
-- typical for a new distro. For some reason tcl and tk were "yum
upgrade"ed, despite the face that the release-version were the same, but
backing these "upgrades" out has made no difference.
In any case, ical fails with a long program dump, apparently generated
by the tcl libraries, which is attached. Unfortunately, I'm not
familiar with tcl/tk and am at a loss about how to debug.
Questions:
Is there any way that I can rebuild ical so as to provide more
info in the dump? It would be nice to know what place in the
c/c++/tcl code is making the offending request to free memory.
Is there a debugging tool to use for debugging tcl/tk code? Gdb
is not useful, since the tcl library catches the memory
violation, and prevents gdb from seeing it.
Thanks - jon
