midori crashes on startup with `illegal instruction'

[veedeehjay@…]

midori crashes on startup with `illegal instruction'. actually, I see the same error message with another browser using the webkit-gtk library. so maybe there's a problem with that one, really?

seen under 10.10.3

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers midori), if any.

Cc Me!

did some further testing: crashes only happen on my macpro, while I don't see them on a macbook pro, both running osx 10.10.3. crashes happen with 'midori' and with 'surf' (not provided by macports but linked against the macports provided webkit-gtk library), so it seems the problem migtht rather be located in that library. should the webkit-gtk port maintainers be notified? sudo dtruss -ef midori myfile.html yields

if I can provide further information, let me know.

I struggled further with the reported isssue and reinstalled webkit-gtk as well as midori. but this did not help at all. due to the substantial dependencies reported by `otool -L' and my lacking understanding of what exactly that would mean in reinstalling macports packages I finally gave up and did a de-novo install of *all* installed packages. at least that did the trick and the problem has gone away. I'm still at a complete loss how such a situation can come about in the first place. but regarding the ticket: can someone please clause it? I myself seemingly can't do that.

thanks, joerg

FYI, midori was updated to version 0.5.10 in r136319.
