I grabbed cpicker from the net and compiled it cleanly, but when I run
it I get the following error (it happens after clicking on a window
and selecting a color). Has anyone else had this problem or managed
to get the program to work?
I used gdb to located the exception and it seems to be in a call to
one of the X libraries, is there a chance that this could be related
to the change in db formats?
janis:ram {3} ./cpicker
Click on a window to edit its colormap.
Floating exception (core dumped)
janis:ram {4}
The error seems to be here:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tools/cpicker/cpicker
Click on a window to edit its colormap.
Program received signal 8, Floating point exception
Reading in symbols for cpicker.c...done.
0x23b7 in doChange (cmd=(Widget) 0xd2000, cdata=(char *) 0x0, position=8.65263e-40) (cpicker.c line 448)
The line in question is this:
444 doChange(cmd, cdata, position)
445 Widget cmd;
446 caddr_t cdata;
447 float position;
448 {
449 saveCurrent();
450 }
389 saveCurrent()
390 {
391 current.red = allocated.red;
392 current.green = allocated.green;
393 current.blue = allocated.blue;
394 XStoreColor(XtDisplay(toplevel), cmap, ¤t);
395 }
