I've built evolution 2.2 from cvs -r gnome-2-10. My gnome environment is 2.11. Evolution crashes on selecting any option from a drop-down list, such as selecting pop server option. When the list (pop, imap etc) is displayed the following messages are logged :- (evolution-2.2:8146): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Cannot activate OAFIID:GNOME_Spell_Dictionary:0.3


It seems like you should check gnome-spell installation


(evolution-2.2:8146): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed (evolution-2.2:8146): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_SORTABLE (sortable)' failed

This sort of messages are easy to debug. Just put breakpoint in g_log
function
then backtrace should show you the place where problem occurs.


When I actually select an option from the dropdown list no further messages are output, evolution just crashes.

How do you guys actually debug something like this ? Using an unstable gnome is part of my learning curve.


Just use gdb. Look at

If you've found bug that causes segfault, it is always nice to report
about it in bugzilla.


thanks
