#45309: gimp2 @2.8.14 on 10.9 - doesn't load plug-ins ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: and.damore@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gimp2 | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by cal@…): On OS X, you cannot call non-async-safe functions in a process `fork(2)`ed from a child process before calling `execve(2)`. This looks like some post-fork-phtread callback code that calls stuff it shouldn't call. A valid solution for this kind of problem is to replace the `fork(2)` and `execve(2)` combination with `posix_spawn(2)`. Please make sure upstream is aware of this problem. For further reference, for example: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-11/msg00083.html. Googling for "*** multi-threaded process forked ***" also gets you lots of similar hits. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45309#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
