NNTPGrab

Ooops - spoke to soon. The library update fixes the standard gui, but not the qt version - it still seg faults

The segfault in the Qt frontend probably is a different issue than the libsoup one.
Could you please try to generate a stack trace of the segfault? Instructions can be found at the Debugging page.
Note that the instructions refer to the 'nntpgrab_gui' binary. To debug the Qt frontend you have to use the 'nntpgrab_gui_qt' binary there

Hi - Here's the trace info requested...

A new RPM package has just been published which fixes the undefined symbol error.
I tried to analyze the Qt crash on a Fedora 12 x86_64 environment, but I wasn't able to reproduce it.
What version of Qt do you have installed? You can use this command to retrieve this information: rpm -qa | grep qt | sort

My version is qt-4.5.3-7.fc12.x86_64, compared to my other FC12 machine (which works) qt-4.6.2-17.fc12.x86_64

So thats the issue here.

I'm trying to update QT to fix it, but my install is an updated corporate version of fc11, and it appears not everything was updated correctly to fc12 - I wont go into it here, but the result is yum update is broken for certain apps - unfortunately qt is one of them... Looks like a re-install is required... )-:

The NNTPGrab package for Fedora 12 is built against Qt 4.6, so you need Qt 4.6 or higher to run it.
I just updated the package to have an explicit requirement on Qt 4.6 or higher.
That's all I can do, so I'm closing the bugreport
