ncurses segfault
Last modified: 2017-04-24 06:40:26 UTC
Trivial ncurses apps all segfault in initscr(). The following hello world program segfaults in initscr: #include <ncurses.h> int main() { initscr(); /* Start curses mode */ printw("Hello World !!!"); /* Print Hello World */ refresh(); /* Print it on to the real screen */ getch(); /* Wait for user input */ endwin(); /* End curses mode */ return 0; } So does this app: #include <unistd.h> #include <ncurses.h> int main(void) { initscr(); sleep(2); endwin(); return 0; } Those work fine on other distros (and on older versions of openSUSE)
Above apps built like this (with gcc 6.3.1) and $ gcc -Wall -Werror -o hello hello.c -lncurses $ ./hello Segmentation fault (core dumped) When built with debug symbols and -O0: $ gcc -Wall -Werror -O0 -g -o hello hello.c -lncurses $ gdb ./hello GNU gdb (GDB; openSUSE Tumbleweed) 7.12.1 Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Do you have checked this with the latestr ncurses from project Base:System ? With the last change Thu Apr 13 13:16:58 UTC 2017 - werner@suse.de - With one of the latest update patches libtinfo now has become splitted into a normal and wide character version (boo#1033198) this one might be become fixed as well
IMHO a dub of boo#1033198
What is the reason for not accepting SR#487834
Dup boo#1033198 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1033198 ***
