OK. So testing here with Xephyr from a wheezy chroot, loch works fine for me. So this is probably something to do with your graphics card/drivers not getting on with loch or vtk5.8 > Trying the command line I get this > > The program 'loch' received an X Window System error. > This probably reflects a bug in the program. > The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. > (Details: serial 2540 error_code 8 request_code 73 minor_code 0) > (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; > that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. > To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line > option to change this behavior.

I have two opengl geeks sat here and they just said 'yeah, that's the sort of error you get'. What sort of graphics card have you got? (and which drivers/kernel) Can you save the info from the Aven 'about' window - that can be helpful. This is going to be difficult to debug remotely if I can't reproduce. There should be some wxgtk samples/demos you can run which would show if it is a wx problem or a loch problem. (loch uses VTK, which uses WX). I've also just noticed that we are linking against libwxgtk2.6 when 2.8 is available. Stacho - do you expect v2.8 to work or are there ABI changes needed? If the new one works then hopefully it has bugfixes. You could install libwxgtk2.6-dbg and libvtk5-dbg and see if you get any more debug info. You may need to use xxgdb to get any good info that way. Another thing to try is strace loch <filename> 2>&1> therion.strace.log There is also therion 5.3.8 in unstable. Add that repo and you should be able to do aptitude install therion/unstable and try that one. It's very unlikely to be different in the graphics area though.
