#21 Segmentation fault under RedHat 8.0
Gnomesword won't even start under RedHat 8.0, it
crashes with a segmentation fault immediately. I
followed your instructions to the letter: installed gal,
libgal, gal-devel, gtkhtml-*. I then created the softlink,
then installed sword and gnomesword. The only glitch I
had on installation was that libgal19-0.19.1-2 was an
older version than what was already on the newly
installed RedHat 8.0.
I am trying to break away from MS Windows so I need a
good Bible study program for Linux. I currently use
QuickVerse 6 under Windows, which is an excellent
program.
I was hoping that the push to make Linux a viable
desktop O/S would net me an equally good Bible
program in a single RPM that I could download and
install; you know, be the typical computer user who is
out there who just wants to install a product and get to
work. While I can certainly tinker with Gnomesword to
get it to work, I just don't have the time anymore. I need
a plug-n-play solution.
Thanks for your valuable time,

I recompiled sword 1.5.5 and gnomesword 0.7.6 this morning
and have seen very little problems.
I only had to stop and start gnomesword after I made any
change in the preferences to work itself all the way through.
