    Did you build this from source yourself? If that is the case, I would build it again and watch for any errors / warnings in the build process.

    If not, even if you are doing something wrong in the configuration, a segfault should not happen. The program should not be trying to access memory it shouldn't. If there is an error on your part, it should print an error and exit on its own. So you should submit a bug report if you don't see anything during the build process.

    If you have the source, and want to see if you can just fix it right away. Compile with -ggdb3 and then run the executable with gdb and see where it segfaults:

    $ gdb myexec
