Hi, sometimes ``` pixbuf = Gdk::Pixbuf.new path_to_my_svg, size ``` segfaults. The code in my special case is: icon\_size = \*Gtk::IconSize.lookup (Gtk::IconSize::SMALL\_TOOLBAR) pixbuf = Gdk::Pixbuf.new PIXMAP\_PATH + ‘/’ + item +‘.svg’, icon\_size I know, that the code is wrong, but it should not lead to a segmentation fault. Here is the GDB backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 0x0e75f09c in initialize (argc=, argv=, self=1211822976) at rbgdk-pixbuf.c:222 #1 0x0ff11134 in call\_cfunc (func=0xe75eb00 , recv=1211822976, len=, argc=, argv=) at eval.c:5749 #2 0x0ff1d398 in rb\_call0 (klass=1210540680, recv=1211822976, id=2961, oid=2961, argc=2, argv=0xbfe19000, body=0x483d6440, flags=2) at eval.c:5904 #3 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1210540680, recv=1211822976, mid=2961, argc=2, argv=0xbfe19000, scope=1, self=6) at eval.c:6151 #4 0x0ff1e1c8 in rb\_obj\_call\_init (obj=1211822976, argc=2, argv=0xbfe19000) at eval.c:7770 #5 0x0ff5468c in rb\_class\_new\_instance (argc=2, argv=0xbfe19000, klass=) at object.c:1644 #6 0x0ff11134 in call\_cfunc (func=0xff54640 \, recv=1210540680, len=, argc=, argv=) at eval.c:5749 #7 0x0ff1d398 in rb\_call0 (klass=1208400192, recv=1210540680, id=3361, oid=3361, argc=2, argv=0xbfe19000, body=0x4806a308, flags=0) at eval.c:5904 #8 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1208400192, recv=1210540680, mid=3361, argc=2, argv=0xbfe19000, scope=0, self=1211828352) at eval.c:6151 #9 0x0ff17d34 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3492 #10 0x0ff19318 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3687 #11 0x0ff19118 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:2961 #12 0x0ff1bb6c in rb\_yield\_0 (val=1211824008, self=1211828352, klass=, flags=0, avalue=0) at eval.c:5077 #13 0x0fef1184 in rb\_ary\_each (ary=1211824032) at array.c:1261 #14 0x0ff11110 in call\_cfunc (func=0xfef1120 \, recv=1211824032, len=, argc=, argv=) at eval.c:5752 #15 0x0ff1d398 in rb\_call0 (klass=1208361144, recv=1211824032, id=4001, oid=4001, argc=0, argv=0x0, body=0x48061bc0, flags=0) at eval.c:5904 #16 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1208361144, recv=1211824032, mid=4001, argc=0, argv=0x0, scope=0, self=1211828352) at eval.c:6151 #17 0x0ff17d34 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3492 #18 0x0ff1aef0 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3222 #19 0x0ff1d24c in rb\_call0 (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, id=88897, oid=88897, argc=4, argv=0xbfe25a20, body=0x483cf2a0, flags=) at eval.c:6055 #20 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, mid=88897, argc=4, argv=0xbfe25a20, scope=1, self=1211828352) at eval.c:6151 #21 0x0ff17e44 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3507 #22 0x0ff1d24c in rb\_call0 (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, id=88761, oid=88761, argc=0, argv=0x0, body=0x483d0638, flags=) at eval.c:6055 #23 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, mid=88761, argc=0, argv=0x0, scope=2, self=1211828352) at eval.c:6151 #24 0x0ff17e80 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3513 #25 0x0ff1d24c in rb\_call0 (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, id=88729, oid=88729, argc=0, argv=0x0, body=0x483d24f8, flags=) at eval.c:6055 #26 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, mid=88729, argc=0, argv=0x0, scope=2, self=1211828352) at eval.c:6151 #27 0x0ff17e80 in rb\_eval (self=1211828352, n=) at eval.c:3513 #28 0x0ff1d24c in rb\_call0 (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, id=2961, oid=2961, argc=0, argv=0x0, body=0x483d2900, flags=) at eval.c:6055 #29 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1211945712, recv=1211828352, mid=2961, argc=0, argv=0x0, scope=1, self=6) at eval.c:6151 #30 0x0ff1e1c8 in rb\_obj\_call\_init (obj=1211828352, argc=0, argv=0x0) at eval.c:7770 #31 0x0ff5468c in rb\_class\_new\_instance (argc=0, argv=0x0, klass=) at object.c:1644 #32 0x0ff11134 in call\_cfunc (func=0xff54640 \, recv=1211945712, len=, argc=, argv=) at eval.c:5749 #33 0x0ff1d398 in rb\_call0 (klass=1208400192, recv=1211945712, id=3361, oid=3361, argc=0, argv=0x0, body=0x4806a308, flags=0) at eval.c:5904 #34 0x0ff1d514 in rb\_call (klass=1208400192, recv=1211945712, mid=3361, argc=0, argv=0x0, scope=0, self=1208394144) at eval.c:6151 #35 0x0ff17d34 in rb\_eval (self=1208394144, n=) at eval.c:3492 #36 0x0ff192b4 in rb\_eval (self=1208394144, n=) at eval.c:3677 #37 0x0ff2ae04 in ruby\_exec\_internal () at eval.c:1641 #38 0x0ff2ae6c in ruby\_exec () at eval.c:1661 #39 0x0ff2aebc in ruby\_run () at eval.c:1671 #40 0x10001afc in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfe336e4, envp=) at main.c:48 ## Cheers, detlef [http://det.cable.nu](http://det.cable.nu) ---

You may try in C with the same SVGs? It might be a bug related to specific/broken SVG content in the underlying libraries… – Guillaume C. - [Guillaume Cottenceau](http://zarb.org/~gc/)
