Package: gnomesword
Version: 2.0.0-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

When I try and run gnomesword on my ibook it hangs after initializing
the dictionary (see below):-

,----[ gnomesword console output ]

| sword-1.5.7
| Initiating Sword

| Sword locale is en
| Checking for SWORD Modules

| Number of Percomm modules = 1
| Number of Devotion modules = 0

From this point on I get no response and have to Ctrl-C out of the application. Removing the .gnomesword-1.0 directory doesn't help. The

initial config starts and asks me the usual questions about modules etc
and then it hangs at the same spot.

According to Patrice Nerf on the gnomesword mailing list, ([email protected]) he had the
same problem and came up with the following solution :-

<snipped form Patrice's email>

In src/main/module.c the function get_preverse_header() does not
return any value. But in the function chapter_display() the return
value of the function is checked.

So what I changed the function get_preverse_header() to return the
value of the function backend_get_preverse_header().

This results in the following code:
,----[ get_preverse_header() in src/main/module.c ]
| char *get_preverse_header(char * module_name, char * key, int
pvHeading)
| {
| return backend_get_preverse_header(module_name, key,
pvHeading);
| }
`----

</snip>

I don't have this problem on my Athlon box just on my ibook. I haven't
tried the latest package in unstable to see if this fixes the problem.
Patrice has confirmed to me that he used the debian testing src package and the above patch to get it to work.
As a short term fix to get gnomesword running I have compiled 2.1.1
downloaded directly from gnomesowrd and everything is working ok so it
appears that this is not a problem in the latest unstable version from upstream.
