And to be precise: it can be used with the original xpdf-packages from ubuntu. The SEGV-bug was only in the poppler-libs. I also tried compiling from source and it also worked. This means: for those of you who need xpdf we now have 2 workarounds: install libpoppler by hand, either from the oneiric-URL or by taking the sources from there and doing a dpkg-buildpackage:
cd /tmp wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler/poppler_0.16.7.orig.tar.gz wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler/poppler_0.16.7-2ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz tar zxf poppler_0.16.7.orig.tar.gz cd poppler-0.16.7 tar zxf ../poppler_0.16.7-2ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz dpkg-buildpackage (this process will tell you, what else you might need, libs, devs whatever) afterwards: cd .. sudo dpkg -i libpoppler13_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-cpp0_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-cpp-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-glib6_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-glib-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-qt4-3_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb libpoppler-qt4-dev_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb poppler-dbg_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb poppler-utils_0.16.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb This might be a bit more than you need but at least, afterwards xpdf runs quite fine! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669211 Title: Xpdf segfaults on start in libpoppler.so.7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/669211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
