Bug#872628: geant321: gxint fails to spawn interactive geant session

[Glenn Becker]

Package: geant321
Version: 1:3.21.14.dfsg-11
Severity: important

   * What led up to the situation?

I ran gxint in a Mate terminal.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Tried to start the interactive session.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I got the following output:

 GXINT [options] file(s)
  ld an interactive Geant application and run it. Your compiled
  routines are given in file(s).
  options:
 
  -d driver
        specify the driver for the graphics output. Possible
        values are X11, Motif, GKS, or GDDM. Not all are available
        on all systems. X11 is the default.
  -v version
        version of the program library to use. Possible values
        include pro, new and old. This option only makes sense if you
	have installed a non-Debian version of CERNLIB. In that case
	you must have defined the environment variable $CERN.
  -g geant_version
        which version of geant to use. Current default is 321. This
	also makes sense only if you have installed a non-Debian version
	of CERNLIB.
  -h host
        useful with the -d X11 option only. Specify the hostname
        used for the display. Syntax identical to that of DISPLAY.
        If no hostname is specified, the value of DISPLAY is used.
  -o outputfile
        Do not immediately run GEANT, but produce an executable
        file named outputfile.
  -L path
        additional loader search path. Useful if additional libraries
        are specified with -l option. This option may be repeated to
        more than one pathname.
  -l library
        specify additional libraries. This option may be repeated to
        add several libs.
  -m    do NOT use main program from cernlib area.

LOCB/LOCF: address 0x562d7c2bb6c0 exceeds the 32 bit address space
or is not in the data segments
This may result in program crash or incorrect results
Therefore we will stop here

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Expected the session to initialize correctly
