Hi John, > However, if I sudo, it works
Don't do that. :-) This is Ubuntu? I wonder where the core dump is ending up. You could `ulimit -c' to see the current limit on core-file size for that shell and then `ulimit -c unlimited' if it's not that already. Run `./get_iplayer --verbose' to see if that gives more of a clue how far it's getting. If not, change that option to `--debug'. If nothing is clearer, run it under strace to help show what process is suffering. It should still suffer the SEGV. strace -fe execve get_iplayer -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
