I am not doing much to maintain xacc-1.0.xx and have focused all of my energies on
xacc-1.1 which I think is just about useable these days. However, if you send me
patches, I can incorporate these, and create a 1.0.19

You can try downloading the latest version of "autoconf" and use it to rebuild the
configure scriopt (from configure.in). Just say "autoconf" at the command line.
Maybe that will fix it; otherwise, you need to talk to the owner of the outoconf tool

This is almost certainly due to a null pointer being passed into strcpy.
Compile with -g and try again, this will then shouw the line number where the fauilt
occured.

Hmm, this might be due to a bad argument being passed to the create-widget code ...
maybe a null pointer ... whitout line numbers and ability to play around, I can't
tell ...

no. This is a classic "BlackPixelOfScreen" bug. you can try editing
main.c and modifying fbres to include the lines
*Foreground: black
*Background: white
or edit your .Xdefaults file and add
Xacc*Foreground: black
Xacc*Background: white
--linas
