Re: Segmentation fault trying to run gnuradio-companion

Hi Grace,

this happens when one of the libraries that gnuradio-companion needs to load crashes.
Sadly, it's kind of hard to guess which one that would be, but on long-term expectation,
it's a version mismatch somewhere.

But why guess when we can find out? The segfault error message looks like Linux, so if you
have `gdb` installed, you can:

$ gdb --args $(which gnuradio-companion)
(gdb) set logging file gdblog.txt
(gdb) set logging enabled
(gdb) run
… wait for the crash to happen
(gdb) thread apply all backtrace
(gdb) quit

and share the resulting gdblog.txt with us :)

Gdb might ask you underway whether to enable debuginfo downloads, don't let yourself be
irritated by that, "y" is fine.

Best regards,
Marcus
