Re: [Visualpython-users] Python-visual in latest Ubuntu

[James T. <jt...@mi...>]

Another data point.  I'm running LMDE (debian testing) 64-bit and I get the
segfault error with the ATI proprietary driver.  libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev
was not installed but installing it made no difference.  Playing around
with site_settings.py made no difference.  Purge-reinstall made no
difference.

Seems like this is a perpetual problem I keep running into every time I
come back to visual after an extended break or on a new system.  Now I'm
regretting not making good on my intention 2 years ago to re-implement
vPython in Python (like it should be) two years ago.  I have a library and
a lot of simulation code that is unusable because I can't get visual to run.

My last hope is to bypass the repositories and hope that a newer version or
building from sources will fix this.  Otherwise I'm fairly well screwed.
