Re: gEDA-bug: gschem seg faulting on OSX

[Steven Michalske <smichalske@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hit this bug myself last night
it exists in guile 1.8 and 1.6 builds,  the problem is when we go to  
add new file to the recent file list.

i have not debugged the error there, but y feeling is that a pointer  
or the like is not being dereferenced properly.

to fix this in the temporary, I commented out the function

recent_files_add  at  x_window.c:956 and x_window.c:1054

It removes the ability to have a recent items menu list but it lets  
you use gschem.

I will dig in to this more when i get some time.....
