gxine, xmms, xine all Seg Fault

[Christian Csar]

I have been using gxine and xmms perfectly fine for some time now 
without any problems. However, yesterday I attempted to install Google 
Earth, the little installation program went fine, however, when running 
it from Terminal (the XFCE terminal program) it immediately seg faulted. 
I deleted the google earth folders that it had installed.

Today I had some trouble while listening to an mp3 cd in gxine and had 
firefox open at the same time. According to the system monitor my CPU 
was at 100% and I was going about half way through my 1GB swap for 512 
MB of Ram, which has so far indicated a memory leak to me in general. I 
used XKill on Firefox and gxine, which was giving error messages about 
not being able to open the media which I assumed was because of the CPU 
usage.

Trying to open gxine was briefly giving me the splash screen without 
getting anywhere further. So then I deleted the .gxine and .xine folders 
from my home directory in case there was some information lying around 
there that was causing problems. This did not solve the problem, so I 
restarted and now when I attempt to open gxine or xmms or xine in the 
terminal I get the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". For xine 
the splash appears as does the main window, but as soon as the splash 
disappears it seg faults. I had Synaptic reinstall gxine and a few of 
the packages on which it depended, but I must not have found the right 
one yet.

I still get sound from my computer (from Battle for Wesnoth).

Does anyone know what would cause this and what would be the best way to 
fix this? Or if there is an easy way to cross index the dependencies for 
packages.

Thanks,
