Avahi-autoipd Floating Point Exception Error

[wlerner]

System: RHEL 4.4 with 2.6.9-11 default kernel on a Dell 2950.

Avahi 0.6.2 installed with libdaemon only. GTK, Python, and D-Bus not installed. Avahi-Daemon and Avahi-dnsconfd function correctly.

When attempting to start avahi-autoipd from the command line, I recieve a Floating Point Exception error with no further output. This error is reproducable and occurs every time.

Executing an strace command shows 20 variables being read prior to the FPE error with no further output.

Please provide a gdb backtrace.

Could you please install debugging symbols for avahi and redo the backtrace?

Thank you, lennart

I am not installing via RPM, I am compiling this from source code, and having some difficulty getting the symbols to appear. Some guidance would be appreciated. Sorry for the delay in my response. Thank you as always.

[lennart]

If yu build frm source debug symbols can be enabled by including -g in CFLAGS.

Closing due to lack of response.
