If the sylpheed extension has been stripped, then gdb will probably not work - you would have to recompile it without stripping

[curaga]

I do wonder though if it's sylpheed itself or one of the libs.

Bizarre, oo2 working now. The only thing I did different was start firefox ondemand before OO.

[alu]

sylpheed gtk1 outputs the same illegal instruction with mc 2.9rc5. gdb sylpheed shows the same messages

[alu]

sylpheed gtk2 works nicely; ok, i can use it instead of the gtk1 version

There are a few applications which have been updated and their dependencies have been updated. As a result, they may not start. (I can't be sure in your situation)

Run Apps Audit -> Dependencies -> Update Dep Database.

Then run Update Apps.

You can check that everything is correct by running Apps Audit -> Dependencies -> Display All with Missing Dependencies.


If you are using an older version, you may not have these. If that is the case, update to the latest version.

After doing this, let us know your results.

Concerning the Sylpheed_GTK1 problem:

I get the "illegal instruction" error when starting the gtk1-builds of Sylpheed and BonEcho.
The gtk1 version of Beaver is working flawlessly, so one can rule out a problem with gtk1 itself.

I did some research on the homepage mentioned in the description of BonEcho (gtk1) and apparently it was compiled on an i684-machine. (www.lamarelle.org/mo-zi-lla/mozilla.php
The computer I am using is an old 200MHZ Pentium, which corresponds to, as far as I know, i586.

Maybe this could be the problem? (and your problem, also?)

It would be really great, if these (gtk1) programs could be compiled in a manner, that old CPUs can make use of them.
Actually, since gtk1 programs perform significantly better on my device, it would be sad to have to use "newer"/slower software even when "older"/faster software exists but can't be used just because the system is too old for it.

By the way, TinyCoreLinux is a wonderful distribution, especially for older machines! (and I have tried many...)
Many compliments to the contributers!

[Juanito]

compiling on an i686 machine shouldn't be a problem as long as the standard tc CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are used to ensure i486 compatibility.

[Jason W]

The Bonecho gtk1 build from lamarelle is i686.  I will look for a 586 or 486 build as the whole purpose of a gtk1 version is for older machines.

[Jason W]

I can't find a bonecho gtk1 build other than the i686 from lamarelle, so I will try to build it as i486 compatible and gtk1.

[Jason W]

Freetype errors have prevented building a gtk1 Bonecho package, and I don't have time to troubleshoot.  May try again later.

[ScubbX]

Thank you for trying, Jason!

I have contacted the creator of the original package and he gracefully made a static bulid for i386. Here is the link:

http://www.lamarelle.org/firefox/2.0.0.20/i386-static/firefox-2.0.0.20.en-US.linux-i386-gtk1-static.2010-04-12.tar.bz2

[Jason W]

Great, I will update the extension with that one soon.

[Jason W]

Ah, I see "No xft, No freetype2" is mentioned on the site, which would perhaps of allowed a build.  I had left all the configure options the same except for enabling gtk1 as I never actually built a gtk1 firefox.  At the very least this build saved a bit of time, am packaging it now.  Thanks for bringing up the need for a 386 build at their site.
