Segfault in gtkmozembed.so

[Tony Yarusso]

Binary package hint: ruby-gnome2

While trying to run geekast, I get this:

anthony@powassan:~$ geekast

I've been getting some other segfaults on this machine in Firefox and Epiphany, although it's not clear yet whether they're related.

I get the same problem here.

Getting the same here on a fresh install of 10.04.1 server and a friend has it on a similar setup. My test app runs fine on a Debian box so I know the code is good.

Got all the dependencies installed I think.

Same problem here on 2 machines (i686 and x86_64) ...

App runs fine on Ubuntu 09.10

I have a similar problem using example code from the Ruby-Gnome2 website.

Problem did not occur in Hardy, or Karmic, but does occur in Lucid. I'm not exactly certain what the problem is :(

[TF (schmidt-netzmerk)]

I just tried some code from Ruby-Gnome2 (or, to be precise, http://ruby-gnome2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/trunk/gtkmozembed/sample/ruby-gecko.rb?revision=4013&view=markup) too and was also faced with
