Re: New ddd software

[sdharia]

Hi Andreas,

We are currently using ddd 3.3 that we downloaded from the website but we
are having two major issues with that.

1) We keep getting "program received signal SIGINT interrupt" and then on
the second line, it prints different messages. For example "0xTTTTTT in
_select from /lib/libc.so.6". We have to keep hitting continue to keep
moving. Sometimes we have to kill the app and starts again.

2) It takes long time to start our app with ddd.

I would really appreciate if you can help us with this.

Thanks.

Samir Dharia

In the last year, the main reason for previous DDD crashes was the
LessTif library.  It has evolved a lot since then and (as far as I can
see) is often more stable then its Motif counterpart.  I'd recommend
to get the latest Lesstif release and build/link DDD with it (either
DDD 3.2.1 or DDD 3.3, which will be available in a few days.)

Best wishes,

Andreas
