Crash on startup...

[Rory]

Xubuntu 14.02, CodeLite 5.4 + CodeLite 6.1
Usually when this happens I simply remove the CodeLite directory from my home folder. But this crash still persists even after doing that. I'm using an older version of CodeLite because the debugger is inbedded, but when I make install a newer version I get the same error:
*** Error in `codelite': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fd9273832c0 ***
Are there other codelite files around the place that need to be deleted too?

1. Are the 2 codelites installed on different folders?
2. Did you build it with --prefix?
3. what happens when you launch codelite like this:

Code: Select all

codelite --no-plugins

4. Do both codelite crash on startup? or .. ?

I would guess a clash between either wx version or plugins from different versions

Thanks,
Eran

[Rory]

Thanks. Both versions can be starting with --no-plugins. What about the --prefix option, is this passed to cmake or how can I try it?

[eranif]

--prefix is something you need to run when compiling codelite.

Building codelite on Linux:
http://codelite.org/Developers/Linux

Building codelite and installing it into a custom folder (/opt/codelite-5.4) in release mode:

Code: Select all

cmake .. -DPREFIX=/opt/codelite-5.4 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j4
sudo make install
/opt/codelite-5.4/bin/codelite &

Still no joy. If I run with no plugins it will start, but as soon as I try a workspace it crashes. Sorry about this, but is there a way to ensure that none of version 6 is still lurking around after I re-installed it version 5.4?

[eranif]

Can you run the crashing codelite under gdb?

Code: Select all

gdb /path/to/codelite
(gdb)r
... wait for crash ...
(gdb)bt

The backtrace from codelite 6 build and crash on startup. I really don't know what caused this. CodeLite was working fine for a long time:

From the backtrace, seems like you are missing the most basic lexer configuration 'text'

Syntax highlight XML files were changed between version 5.4 and 6.1
But not between 5.4 and 6.0

So I can't really understand how this could happen - unless you have corrupted XML files.

To fully remove codelite, do this (depending on your system)

Code: Select all

sudo -i
rm -fr /usr/share/codelite
rm -fr /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/codelite/
rm -fr /usr/lib/codelite/

Note that depending on your system, one of the folders /usr/lib/codelite or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/codelite/ (note that on 32 bit the path is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/codelite/)

The above will remove all old configuration files and plugins from your system.
Next, re-compile both codelites using different -DPREFIX attribute
This is the only way to ensure that codelite is installed truly independent from each other

That did the trick. Thanks once again for your speedy assistance.
