I'm on a SPARCstation 2 and I'm using Sun's GUIDE (devGUIDE) software to
design a complex user interface in XView. I've got a popup window, 3
panels, 20 buttons, 5 checkboxes...the ".G" file is ~660 lines long.
My problem is that, while GUIDE used to work on this, it core dumps now
on various activities. For example, I can drag a button onto a panel,
but when I open a definition window, redefine some things, and hit
"Apply" to apply the redefinitions, *BOOM* I get a core dump. Pulling up
a menu is OK, but selecting an item from the menu gives a core dump.
Trying to exit the program causes a core dump.
Has anyone had these experiences? Are there workarounds?
Thanks...I'll summarize.

This is interesting. I've been experiencing weird things like this myself. It seems to be related with our upgrading to SunOS 4.1. In addition, apps built with devGUIDE (and compiled with 4.1) seem to crap out looking for a file in a "/Proto" directory (while sleuthing around with trace). Maybe this is an Xview problem rather than a devGUIDE problem? Frank G.

In Mike's case the problem is a bug in olgx, the OPEN LOOK graphics library. It only happens in monochrome and it only happens when you have a glyph of some sort. His interface had a glyph in a button and he has a monocrome monitor. If your stack trace ends up in olgx_draw_text, you're being bit. I know that the bug is fixed in OpenWindows V3. There is rumored to be a patch, I'm looking around for it. As for Frank's problem, I'm not sure what is going on. The release engineering group builds things in a directory /proto/... but Devguide never tries to do anything there. The only information that would have that is the stamp from ld. Is your application finding all the XView, olgx, and X11 libraries correctly? Try "ldd myapp".
