Indeed building with --enable-gnome caused the segfault to go away. Instead dia starts with a warning:
GnomeUI-WARNING **: Could not open help topics file NULL Perhaps this was what was causing the segfault in the no-gnome case. Thanks for your help. Carol Lerche _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
