Re: xmms segfault - fonts -or arts again?

Hi all.
I'm having a few minor glitches in my fresh install of FC3t1. The
first is that xmms refuses to run. It worked fine in my original
install, and in FC2, of course. I didn't test it prior to installing
the 100's of updates, but have tried installing the package from the
install cd.
Ran strace xmms and sys replied:

Now I don't know nearly enough about what this is saying, but I did
verify that xmms.mo does exist in the last directory tried and is the
right size, has the right permissions etc. I am left with the
possibility that the problem is that st_rdev=makedev() might be
failing?? is this an incompatibility with udev, or am I just jumping to
conclusions. So I figure I can't be alone in seeing this, right??
Anyway it looks like it'll need a rebuild or something a little more
involved than my current level of sophistication permits. Any help?

I am getting the same errors after installing xmms onto FC3T2 candidate.
The solution to overriding the problem is to get an .xmms file from a
previous installation and apply it to your home directory.
The last time this error happened, it was related to arts. I'm not sure
if this is a resurfacing of the older bug.
I don't have KDE installed on this test session. Is KDE installed on
your computer?
Anyway, this looks like it might be font related.
xmms
** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".
is the error that I get on the terminal w/ this particular candidate.
xmms-1.2.10-6
arts-1.3.0-1
Go ahead and submit a bug report. I see it here also.
