[PLUG] C program: builds but segfaults when invoked

[Ben Koenig]

This isn't a code problem. jpilot 1.8.1 is supported on Slackware 14.2. If
you are experiencing problems that others are unable to reproduce then this
means the problem is isolated to your slackware installation, NOT the
program itself. The jpilot devs cannot help you if they are unable to
reproduce the problem.

Check version numbers and dependencies. It's possible that you have
installed a different version of a dependency that is throwing it off.
- what version of jpilot are you building?
- have you modified any of the slackware packages or config files jpilot
depends on?

Use ldd to find the libraries jpilot is linked too.
$ ldd `which jpilot`

And compare accordingly. If you need to, use a clean install of slackware
to verify that it works. I know you have a tendency to modify your env
variables so something is probably just out of alignment.
