SEQ segfault on startup

[kmkm]

Hi,

I've searched the forums and I can't seem to find a solution, I'm using SEQ 5.0.0.16a (tried 5.0.0.16 too).

I've copied accross the spellstr and eqstr text files but whenever I start it up, it starts to display the gui then just segfaults. :(

stdout/err--->

Thanks for any help you can give

Hrm. The GLX errors can be fixed by enabling GLX extensions. Are you running XFree or xorg?

You might also try to use gdb to get a backtrace, but this may not work if you don't have debug compiled in. But try it anyways if turning on GLX doesn't help. Do this by doing gdb showeq, then type run. Then do whatever you do to make it core. When it cores, type bt at the gdb prompt and cut and paste what it says here.

If you don't have debug compiled in, you could also recompile using ./configure --enable-debug && make && make install and then follow the instructions for getting the backtrace above.

Hope that helps.

I reconfigured/make'd/make install'd to add the --enable-debug switch, ran the program in gdb... here's the result:

Sorry, missed that first question, I'm using XFree86.

Hmmm, just a thought. I've tried to run this in a Xvnc (tightvnc-server) and by x-forwarding it to an X-Win32 server. Tried this simply because it's running on the gateway comp. which is in another room... :)

Is there a requirement that it must run on a local X display?

[purple]

What does xdpyinfo say for Xvnc? Maybe the Xserver side of it doesn't support Xrender (should show up as RENDER under extensions)? What version of Xft do you have?

[kmkm]

Ahhh, just tried it on a "real" X desktop with the RENDER extension and that worked.

Thanks for your help. :)

Edit: Installed Cygwin/X and that supports the RENDER extension.
