[Bug-gnubg] gnubg crash

[wayne . lydecker]

Gnubg crashes at random times during play with the latest, and I don't
know what to do about it.  I compiled it myself on Redhat Enterprise 5
using gnubg-source-MAIN-20070426.tar.gz.  When it crashes, I get:

==================
The program 'gnubg' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 16356145 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
===================

I tried it with the --sync on the command line, but no new information
is gleaned from the dump.

I tried to install these RPMs:

gnubg-databases-SNAPSHOT-20070604.i686.rpm
gnubg-debuginfo-SNAPSHOT-20070604.i686.rpm
gnubg-SNAPSHOT-20070604.i686.rpm
gnubg-sounds-SNAPSHOT-20070604.i686.rpm

But it fails with:

# rpm -i gnubg-*
error: Failed dependencies:
        libreadline.so.4 is needed by gnubg-SNAPSHOT-20070604.i686

The file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 exists, so I don't know why it is
complaining.

Is there anything I can do about getting gnubg to work again?

Thanks,
