Win32 crash on opening Inkscape19729-0808181656.7z

[Alvin Penner]

Inkscape crashes when I try to run Inkscape19729-0808181656.7z

exit message is :
C:\Python25\APP>inkcl.py
return code: 3
WARNING: Requested update while update in progress, counter = 3
WARNING: Requested update while update in progress, counter = 3

(inkscape.exe:2484): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'edit-select-all'.
The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:

  what(): lib2geom exception: Path contains not enough segments (src/2geom/path
.h:229)

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

The same as bug #258761?

this is a non-sequitor, but in Windows it is sometrimes interesting to trap exit messages using the techniques of :
http://kaioa.com/node/42 or http://kaioa.com/node/63 , not as complete as gdb but sometimes useful.

so it is the same as the original report but in polish and later build

and the last build that works Inkscape19663-0808151831.7z

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

part of the problem may be the time stamp on the files. I have downloaded Inkscape19737-0808191416.7z. In the inkscape directory the latest files are as follows:

08/16/2008 02:49 PM 1,479,706 libcairo-2.dll
08/16/2008 02:49 PM 5,222,666 libpoppler-3.dll
08/16/2008 02:49 PM 14,671,360 inkscape.exe

these files are 2 or 3 days out of date, they may not contain the patch outlined in Bug 258761, which caused a crash in rev 19671.

also, the latest files in the directory \inkscape\share\extensions\ are :

08/16/2008 02:49 PM 3,635 extrude.py
08/16/2008 02:49 PM 791 extrude.inx
08/16/2008 02:49 PM 6,232 dxf_outlines.py
08/16/2008 02:49 PM 1,043 dxf_outlines.inx
08/16/2008 02:49 PM 820 motion.inx

my concern here is that two of these files were submitted by me, as part of my first commit ever, dxf_outlines.py and .inx. (rev 19669 and 19670)

I've never done this before, is it possible I screwed up the commit? I used TortoiseSVN to do a direct commit, not using a diff file, although it appears one was created automatically.

- this has been fixed in the file Inkscape19743-0808220239.7z
- marking this as fix released
- thanks for the update!

Now using the node tool causes inskcape to crash.

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

yes, this is a separate bug, see Bug 258182
