[FIXED] ExtDesigner for Linux 64 Bit seems to be broke.

[nmcbride]

I just go the notice that I needed to update my ExtDesigner, and it is not working at all. All I get is the following:

[nmcbride@localhost ExtDesigner]$ ./ExtDesigner
Loading libion: /home/nmcbride/.local/share/data/Sencha, Inc./Sencha Designer/libion-1.1.1.so
Loading Ion resource: /home/nmcbride/.local/share/data/Sencha, Inc./Sencha Designer/xds-1.1.1.ion
Load result: Success
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Luckily I had the 1.0.3_2 installer still so I just re-installed that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi nmcbride,

What OS distro are you using, and verison? Can you do a `uname -a` and paste that? Thanks.

You can use the 32-bit version, as that ought to have more success. There is an over optimization occurring in GCC for the 64-bit build. Knowing your distro and version will help us diagnose & resolve. It runs on Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.10, so it's apparently a per-system issue (or we wouldn't have released it...)

Fedora 14

Linux 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 07:06:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks, I installed Fedora 14 64-bit and confirmed that it is the same over-optimization issue, seg faulting at the same address in memory. And also confirmed (after installing the proper 32-bit libs through yum) that the 32-bit build works quite well...which I would recommend doing in the meantime while we find a solution and put a new build out.

We ran into the same issue on Ubuntu 8.04, 9.10, and 10.10 when we built with optimizations on. After we re-built with optimizations turned down/off, we no longer had any troubles. However, Fedora 14 appears to still have a problem. So, we'll see about compiling with a different compiler or altogether different options

[nmcbride]

Ok thank you. I don't like cluttering my system with 32bit libraries so I will just use the previous release for now. Is there a ticket or something that is opened that I can monitor to know when it is fixed?

[jarrednicholls]

I'm marking this thread as the open ticket, so you'll receive a reply here with follow up/notice. Thanks.

[nmcbride]

Oh, ok. Thank you very much.

Hi nmcbride,

You can download a new build at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12081268/libion-1.1.1_1.so which was built against a newer version of GCC, and is confirmed working in Fedora 14 64-bit. You can just copy this file to your installation folder as is, and launch the app.

Let me know if this works for you when you can, so I can certify it. Thanks.
