elastix gives segmentation fault

[NP]

elastix (image registration) version 4.5-1 installed from the Ubuntu (12.04.1 LTS) repository, gives a

"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

error when used. Just after the "Reading images..." message.
I tried all kinds of images formats: png, jpg, tiff, dicom I tried on a 32bit and also a 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 system, with always the same result. I used the command this way:
elastix -f Xray.png -m Xray_moved.png -p param_affine.txt -out out1

where the param_affine.txt is the default parameter file found there: http://elastix.bigr.nl/wiki/index.php/Default0

I know its a problem with the repository binaries, because the binaries for 64 bit system @ http://elastix.isi.uu.nl/download.php are working fine on a Ubuntu 64 bit system. But I would like to install elastix on my 32 bit system as well.

Note: the issue could aslo be with the ITK dependency.

This happens to me even with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit system.
