1.3.1 fails to start on updated Debian Sid

Petr,

Somewhere along the lines with updated libraries on my Debian Sid box, CQRlog fails to start with the splash screen being simply a white rectangle and the program goes no further. There is a Debian bug report on the libcairo package which CQRlog links to and as it was causing text corruption in other programs I downgraded it. I noticed that libpangocairo is linked by CQRlog so I downgraded the libpango package as well. I still get the startup hang. Even starting from a terminal window shows no output and 'ldd' shows no missing libraries. I'm stumped.

This is with the .deb file I downloaded from this site as the official Debian package from Kamal is still at version 1.2.2.

Hello Nate,

the same problem is with Ubuntu 12.04. Both have new glibc version where are some changes around working with threads. Its already fixed in Lazarus on my request and new version should be in Sid but it seems that CQRLOG wasn't rebuil with it.
You can use cqrlog deb packages for Precise published here: http://www.cqrlog.com/node/621 or rebuild CQRLOG from debian src package.

Thanks Petr.

The Precise package seems to do the trick and I'm back up and running. :-)
