Hmm... It doesn't seem likely that you have an old version of DiaCanvas2
installed, so I rule that option out...

I have never tried DiaCanvas on Redhat myself, so I know little of what
can go wrong on RH...

What does GDB say? you should be able to do 'libtool gdb test-geometry
core' and GDB will load geometry-test and the core file. You should have
the libtool package installed. (if GDB refuses to load the file for some
reason, you can type
	file .libs/lt-test-geometry
	core-file core
to load them anyway...

Does the error still occur after you installed DiaCanvas?
If so, please send me as much information as possible (stack traces,
core files, binaries, etc...).

I like that!
