Here is what that tells me - it seems like everything is okay?
libvga.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 (0x4000c000)
libvgagl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1 (0x40058000)

... bunch of stuff followed by...
geteuid() = 0
getuid() = 0
getgid() = 0
getegid() = 0
getpid() = 1201
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Does this tell me anything?
This also seems similar to an error that I get when I try to run
"emusic" - nothing happens until I ^C, then I get the next message...
Gdk-Message:
** ERROR **: sigint caught
All other sound stuff seems to work...
Any clues?
also....

I don't have this file - I guess because the program hasn't fully run
yet?
Thanks,
