I suggest commenting out the first three functions in basic.cc.  
Please tell us what result you do obtain by applying this suggestion.

I am doing stuff with Qt and gcc 3.2 and texmacs crashes immediately
without this commenting out. With regular texmacs, commenting out
results in a more stable texmacs. I am using Mandrake cooker but I
suspect this may be true on other platform using gcc 3.2.


For debugging purpose: I am not mastering the make system. After the
configure, I just manually patch common.makefile to add the -g
switch.
