Gaim Crashes

[skaterkid]

I am running SUSE version 10.1 and I am new at using Linux OS and I keep running into problems with Gaim Chat. Every time I go to sign in using MSN/hotmail protocol it loads my contact list views it for about 3 seconds than closes. Is this a bug? Can anyone help me stop Gaim from crashing?

Start gaim from the command line :

gaim

and look at the output (error message) when it crashes. Post it here if you want more help.

Im new to this and to be honest im not to sure I know what the error message looks like. However I think this is what you ment.

Here is the error output:

*** glibc detected *** gaim: free(): invalid pointer: 0x8039a248 ***

And this is the output rate before the crash:

b6bc8000-b6cd8000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 43496      /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
b6cd8000-b6cec000 rw-p 0010f000 08:06 43496      /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
b6cec0Aborted

Also I sometimes get these errors:

*** glibc detected *** gaim: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x803e4648 ***
*** glibc detected *** gaim: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x80374d30 ***

hope this helps. Thanks!
