Two possibilities:

1.  Lots of distros set up a default user environment that disables core 
dumps.  I don't remember the details on this, but I have the following line in 
the .bashrc for the environment I use for development:

  ulimit -c 1000000

2. For reasons unknown to me, sometimes you get a file called "core" and 
sometimes you get a file called "core.[number]" like core.1234.  If you don't 
have a core file, look for a core.nnnn file.

Also note you won't get usable core dumps unless you compile Rosegarden with 
debugging support (./configure --enable-debug).  By default, all the debugging 
information is stripped out, which yields a worthless core dump that has a 
long list of "symbol not found" messages where useful information would be.

All of the above points are outlined on some wiki page about "how to get ready 
to debug Rosegarden" or something to that effect.  I've lost track of it.
