It looks like the list has already helped you fix this problem, so I'm going to tell you about the debugger. It's called 'ddd'. Run it like this: ddd <executable file> You'll need to compile your program with the '-g' flag so that gcc produces output that ddd (or gdb) can understand. 'Segmentation Fault' is a surprisingly common problem, and a debugger can help you find the source of the problem much faster. For more info about the debugger...look at the man page :) Tim Wright Assistant Lecturer Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~tnw13
