I double checked this. I have the latest fg base (from CVS).

Yup, I tried this too, with metakit 2.4.2 (both with and without Erik's
suggestion of removing the #define bool int (which on gcc won't be
defined, but just to be sure...). 

It still crashes. 

Stepping through the code in gdb/ddd I saw the following:

In
    inline bool fgSetDouble (const string &name, double val)
    {
      return globals->get_props()->setDoubleValue(name, val);
    }
    
The call to globals->get_props()->setDoubleValue(...) has stuff that
makes sense. But inside setDoubleValue the formal param relative_path is
null and that's where the seg fault comes from.

    bool
    SGPropertyNode::setDoubleValue (const string &relative_path, double
    value)
    {
      return getNode(relative_path, true)->setDoubleValue(value);
    }

I'm sort of swamped right now, so I haven't taken this any further.
Sorry. Maybe this will be enough of a clue for someone else on the list.

Oh, I was building from CVS just fine until at least late last week, so
whatever is causing this happened relatively recently.
