Something else. I wrote an "ebuild" for coot, which is essentially a
wrapper script around autotools used by Gentoo's package manager
"portage".  But I also built it for testing using plain ./configure and
make. I had to patch the configure script a bit to get it to pickup some
of the dependencies (glut, gtkglext, guile and python) - the autoconf
macros that come with coot do not work so well on Gentoo, so I had to
patch in pkg-config support for some of these.

That was easy! Works like a charm, thank you.

Good to know, I will test if it works for me.

I don't have a core file around right now. Will try to get a backtrace
next time it happens.

OK, so I am shooting my own foot, here - I was kind of expecting that. :)

What I still find puzzling is that it does not always crash loading the
same script, last lines of output before the crash are not always the
same. And it doesn't always crash. So sometimes coot-main-menubar is
returning the right value, sometimes not? Still some kind of race
condition during initialisation?

That would mean I would have to live without many of the curlew
scripts... :(


Thank you for your help and fast reply,

Christian
