The issue persists in 12.10 The patch provided in post #10 has worked for me. I've been using search monkey for several hours with no crash ;-)
Here are the instructions for creating a patched version of searchmonkey-0.8.1 1) Download the 0.8.1 source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/searchmonkey/files/searchmonkey/ and unzip. 2) Apply the patch (thanks Mateusz!) from post #10 using $ patch -p0 < searchmonkey-fixes.patch 3) Install the necessary build tools. In my case, I needed the following. YMMV. $ sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0 4) configure the makefile, and build it $ configure && make 5) You now have an executable (src/searchmonkey). Install it: $ sudo make install I also tried to build searchmonkey-2.0.0. The code won't compile without a small bug-fix. I won't bother adding a patch, as resulting application is, IMHO, vastly inferior to the old version. 1) Download the 2.0.0 source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/searchmonkey/files/Searchmonkey2 and unzip 2) Install the necessary build tools. In my case, I needed the following: $ sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-core libqt4-dev libqt4-dev-bin g++ 3) Fix a bug in the code - it won't compile otherwise(!) In file Utility.h, there is a template IsValueInRange<>, which is dependent on the templates LowerBoundFIt<> and UpperBoundFit<>, but which is declared ahead of it. Simply change the order so that IsValueInRange<> comes afterLowerBoundFIt<> and UpperBoundFit<>. 4) create the makefile from the QT project file, and build it. $ qmake && make 5) you have an executable, searchmonkey PS - I wanted to send the bug-fix back to the project maintainers, but their forum, mailing-list and contact addresses lead nowhere.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178701 Title: Searchmonkey crashes when a result is selected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/searchmonkey/+bug/178701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
