grace@5.1.23: crashes with SIGSYS on mavericks

Reported by: slabrosse@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: mavericks haspatch Cc: mlund (Mikael Lund), cooljeanius (Eric Gallager), varadharajan.srinivasan@…, ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Port: grace

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I just installed macports (2.2.1) on a new machine running under mavericks (10.9.2) and the first port I installed, grace (@5.1.23), does not work. It launches the window but immediately crashes with the following message :

xmgrace 

Oops! Got SIGSYS

Please use "Help/Comments" to report the bug.
Abort trap: 6

I tried to launch the app from both a terminal and a xterm with the exact same result. I run grace on another machine with mavericks but this machine was upgraded and uses an older version of macports and grace. Thanks for your help...

Sorry, the grace port has no maintainer right now. You should contact the developers of grace directly.

Cc Me! I've had the same problem on several new installs.

Could the problem be related to clang as described here:

Building grace 5.1.23 from source outside macports, the following gives the SIGSYS failure

LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS="-O2 -I/opt/local/include/" ./configure

while

LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS="-O1 -I/opt/local/include/" ./configure

works fine (Mavericks, 10.9.2). While this could be an easy fix for the port, proper debugging would be better.

Duplicate #43288 has the same patch but additionally increases the revision, which is indeed necessary since this is a runtime failure.

Hmm, I can't reproduce this. I just built grace in MacPorts on Mavericks and it does not crash for me. I tried using Xcode 5.1.1's clang 3.4svn, MacPorts' clang 3.4 and 3.3, and I tried setting configure.optflags to -O2 (the default is -Os); nothing makes it crash for me.

There is no MacPorts maintainer of grace. You should report this problem to the developers of grace for assistance.

In the meantime, I've committed the patch that reduces the optimization level, since that was reported to help.
