I installed ballview with synaptic. It starts up, shows a screen, and then disappears. dmesg | tail contains: [ 4410.631340] gnome-screensav[10833]: segfault at 4 ip 00007f5664f8ccae sp 00007fff0c29f9a0 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[7f5664f32000+ae000] [ 6108.549381] BALLView[13892]: segfault at 4 ip 00007fc4ea43dcae sp 00007fffd6523190 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[7fc4ea3e3000+ae000] [ 6120.561160] BALLView[13916]: segfault at 4 ip 00007fd368fc2cae sp 00007fffe979da50 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[7fd368f68000+ae000] (this is debian amd64) kjetil ( I tried twice as can be seen) > > Please give those programs a try and if they work then try rgl again.
