    Segmentation fault in strlen from /lib64/libc.so.6

    Hi

    Motif program stop (Abort). However, running the program through the debugger, I get the message: Segmentation fault in strlen from /lib64/libc.so.6 at the function (XtVaAppInitialize();

    Can you help? Do you know of the command to compile a motif program to correct this problem?

    Thx

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Is this a program you compiled yourself? Basically it means that you are either accessing non-existing memory or have a buffer overrun problem. Is the program compiled for debugging (-g option to gcc)? If so, then you can inspect the pointer passed to strlen() to see if it is a valid pointer, or if it contains an unterminated string.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
