wsjt dumps core when started

[Charlie Brune]

Binary package hint: wsjt

Install python-numpy (to fix a dependency problem in this package that I've reported in a separate bug), wsjt dumps core when started. Starting it from the menu or a command line produces this result.

To reproduce:
-- Simply type "wsjt" in a command line.
-- You'll see a couple of windows appear briefly. It looks like wsjt will start up, but then they disappear and you'll get a "Segmentation fault" message.

I have the same problem with 7.10. I pretty sure that the problem has something to do with /usr/lib/wsjt/Audio.so. I rebuilt Audio.so from the source distribution and replaced the file in /usr/lib/wsjt, wsjt seems to work okay now.

This problem also occurs in Ubuntu 8.04.

After typing "wsjt" in the command line, I get the following output:

I tried to run wsjt under Kbuntu. At first it complained about not finding numpy. After installing numpy. wsjt started to work as reported by Jeffmock and Charlie Brune. I will try rebuilding Audio.so and see if that helps. I was surprised to find a required dependency package missing in the wsjt installation package.

This is the message I get when I attempt to open WSJT in a terminal window:

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

[Charlie Brune (bug-bruneworld)]

I tried WSJT in 8.10 last weekend and it appears to work fine.

I tried to run WSJT on Kubuntu 8.10 and this is what I get:

Installing Debian package: wsjt_5.9.7.r383-1.3_i386.deb solves the problem !
