Initial Comment:
When I attempt to start MGED in Windoze or Linux I get segmentation error message. This started about a month ago.

Message:
There are too many reasons that may cause the Windows build to fail, but
the Linux failure is curious.  I suspect the failure would be due to X11
and/or OpenGL failing to initialize.  Can you provide the specific failure
message for the Linux failure?

If it is an incompatible build, the only solution will probably be a
recompile.  It's easy enough to perform yourself on Linux if you're up for
it, the directions are simple enough too.

Cheers!

It was a new install on windows and the linux (Ubuntu 11.04) version was an
upgrade. BRL-CAD 7.20.

Message:
Alan, apologies on the delay responding.  Can you provide any additional
information?  What version of BRL-CAD was this?  Was it previously working
and suddenly stopped working?  Or was it working, you installed a new
version and then it stopped working?  It's not clear what the actual
problem is from your description.
