Re: [Visualpython-users] seg faulting

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I have little experience with Linux, so I don't feel competent to make
a report. Nor do I know for sure that it was an automatic update of
the Boost libraries that was at fault. It would be interesting to know
whether someone else who has had problems was able to fix things in
the same way that worked for me.
