Thanks Hans, I used gdb to run the program, and it does give me more info: I will also try to check with Sunrise. here are the results of running f4l with gdb: (gdb) run /usr/bin/f4l Starting program: /usr/bin/f4l /usr/bin/f4l (no debugging symbols found) Failed to read a valid object file image from memory. (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1223379280 (LWP 16671)] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
