Re: [Visualpython-users] seg faulting

Fixed. When I tried to run, I was told that a libboost library was
missing. I made sure that there was a complete set of development
libraries for libboost python, signals, and thread, rebuilt. When I
ran this rebuilt VPython, I was told that there was a mismatch between
components of the NVIDIA driver environment. I looked up that error
message on the web and followed instructions to purge NVIDIA files and
reinstall, then reboot. Now VPython works.

All of this presumably is due to the updates that Ubuntu continually
wants to do, which have the effect of causing various kinds of
failures. It seems like you still have to be very expert with
computers to be able to use Ubuntu, and you need to know how to search
the internet to find out what arcane procedure is needed to be able to
continue using the system. Ugh.
