Couln't start because of a 'Memory access violation'....

[Flesym]

Hi,

after reading lots of tips and instructions, I was quite happy when I finially made a successful compilation, but now I have the problem that I'm not able to run C::B. When I try, I always get a "Speicherzugriffsfehler" (and nothing else!) /* this is german; in english it would be somthing like "Memory access violation" */

So here are my used components:
-Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
-wxWidgets-2.6.0
-Code::Blocks-1.0-RC1-1

What I basically did was following this Wiki: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Linux_%28applies_to_all_distros%29
and the error appears when running the scipt ../output/run.sh as well as ../devel/run.sh (the same when starting the codeblocks.exe manually)

Here is the debug output that I get:

(gdb) r

You 'll be better off downloading and building the CVS version. It's pretty stable and will become RC2 as it is now. Also the build system has changed, so all you have to do is:

Code

./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Note that the --prefix argument is not really needed, but if you add it like above, you 'll find a nice menu entry in Applications/Programming after installation (might need a log-off/log-on)

Success! :-)

Much thanks for your quick reply -- it works! Now let's see, if this IDE is as good as all the rumours I heard about it ;-)

Bye
