Eterm crashes at launch

[macleod@…]

Eterm will make but crashes and core dumps at launch:

Eterm:  Warning:  Support for the utmp_logging attribute was not compiled in, ignoring

I have just migrated to Lion and recreated my MacPorts from scratch.

THanks,
Rob

I see the same thing. I've modded the port file locally to use the latest version (0.9.6), and that seems to run fine as long as I launch eterm from the terminal. I get a warning message if I close the eterm window (unless I shut it down using Ctrl-D, in which case nothing):

XIO:  fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server "/tmp/launch-NWVHVe/org.macosforge.xquartz:0"
      after 3790 requests (3790 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

However, if I set XQuartz to launch eterm as its default, or use the XQuartz shortcuts to launch an eterm, then it crashes out immediately.

Update: now that I've closed and re-opened both XQuartz and Terminal, eterm crashes out regardless...

Compiling with gcc fixed this issue for me (clang has given me other issues, which led to this hunch):

% sudo port uninstall Eterm
% sudo port install Eterm configure.cc=gcc

Thanks! This helps, this helps, but not completely.

Eterm did make and then launch, ran long enough for me to enter a command, and then crashed with these reports:

I was able launch it a second time and so far, it is running.

I noticed this problem even before upgrading to Lion and making my whole MacPorts from scratch. Eterm would crash a few times, then seem to stabilize. Very odd behavior at the time...

Best, Rob

Cc Me!

That is odd... I personally haven't had any issues with Eterm after recompiling.

I realized that I used the wrong compiler option (see UsingTheRightCompiler and ProblemHotlist), so I went ahead and rebuilt all of my ports with this option: configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 (for me, llvm-gcc-4.2 is equivalent to gcc, but I wanted to be specific in case that changes). So far, so good...

I am still getting the strange crash, but intermittently and, worse, unpredictably (see below)

What is bzlib?

Thanks, Rob
