nload "Segmentation fault"

[sebw]

Using 1.9.2.7-8 on WL500gx, I have reinstalled all packages from the optware feed and get the "Segementation error" when running nload.

In the live options screen, accessed using the 'O' key, I get the error when I exit the option screen, using 'O', or when using the cursor down key.

Any ideas?

I have just updated nload from 0.6.0-2 to 0.7.1-1 and now get the following error on trying to run it:

Illegal instruction

Anybody else seeing this?

[oleo]

try to force update libuclibc++ and ncurses and then report here if it does not work.

Hi Oleo

No luck I am afraid.

I confirm. Before upgrade it worked fine, after upgrade to 0.7.1-1 it returns "Illegal instruction"

Sadly to say that nload 0.7.1 is another c++app that does not build with uclibc++.
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/7920 will rebuild using libstdc++

[al37919]

after upgrade to 0.7.1-2 there is no "Illegal instruction" anymore. nload starts ok. However, it is still unusable. The numbers are represented as some junk chars. There is a screenshot here: http://www.wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=86817&postcount=9

Same here with the junk characters.

Whether this is just new to features of 0.7.1 but the 'o' and left/right cursor keys no longer bring up a screen allowing changes to the scaling of the displayed data.

Ed: Just noticed that F2 now brings up the options screen I was referring to, and the original "Segmentation fault" problem I was having is now gone.

Strangely it worked for me on kamikaze, so I cannot blame uclibc but rather toolchain.
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/7929 will solve this issue for all uclibc based platforms.
