Hi guys. Need a little help here.

Ubuntu 9.04
- Patches up to date as of 5/16/09
i686
Hardware:
- Gigabyte A-E7AUM-DS2H
- Intel E5200
- 4GB Ram
- BUT I'm using a PCIE add-in video card (also NVidia 9400) instead of the built-in 9400 in order to get component video output
SVN: 20368, XBMC dependencies all up to date for this version
Building manually from source with VDPAU enabled and Pulse disabled

XBMC log: http://pastebin.com/mc8e6c98
GDB backtrace: http://pastebin.com/m34eab559

Log and backtrace were grabbed after running a fresh round of "make distclean", "svn up", "./configure --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse", "make", and "sudo make install".

When trying to run XBMC, I see the XBMC startup splash logo, then it crashes back to terminal.

I was building from source successfully until about a week ago when this started happening. I'm guessing something that rolled into the main branch after Babylon is conflicting with something in my setup.

Lots of reverting and recompiling later, and the problem (for me) appeared in 20138.

After "svn up -r 20137", if I clean, configure, and compile XBMC runs fine.
After "svn up -r 20138", if I clean, configure, and compile I get the segfault at runtime.

Unfortunately, you are missing libcurl-dev or something like that. We are now linking to /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 (which I presume you are missing).

Try installing libcurl4-dev.

[pantherman007]

Tried, but Ubuntu forces the selection to libcurl4-gnutls-dev, then confirms it's already installed. Is there a way to override what the apt-get command selects?


xbmc@HTPC4:~$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-dev

Not sure.. You could always do a symlink in /usr/lib so that you have a /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.

[pantherman007]

Thanks for the suggestion - the symlink did the trick.

For other Linux newbies like myself, this is the command I ran to get past the problem:

# sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
