Subject: [ruby-core:53219] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8000] "require 'tk'" segfaults on 64-bit linux with Tk 8.6


Issue #8000 has been updated by edmccard (Ed McCardell).


Jon: I've just posted to Newbie Corner on the Arch forums. The only other place on the internet that I've seen this is in the forums for the Coursera Programming languages class I'm taking, where several other users have reported it. I'll build ruby/tcl/tk from source tonight with debug info and get a better trace.

Nagai-san: Using the latest version of Arch linux ruby that was built against Tcl/Tk 8.5 works fine (that's ruby 1.9.3 p127). I don't know about the tailcall problem, but on 32-bit Arch linux with Tcl/Tk 8.6, the ruby/tk scripts I run are working without segfault.

Using ruby 1.9.3p392 and Tk 8.6.0 on 64-bit Arch Linux, attempting to "require 'tk'" causes a segfault.

To reproduce:
    ruby -e "require 'tk'"

The crash log is in the attached file.

Notes:
- I've heard from a Gentoo user who is having the same problem.
- On 32-bit Arch Linux, there is no problem.
