XView - XView dev packages does not work on amd64 machine

[ryppka]

I run Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 on Acer Aspire 5520G. After installing xview packages I attempted to build wfdb package from http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/wfdb.shtml that depends on it. It builds successfully. Unfortunately, the wave application didn't start with error

System warning: No such file or directory, call to alloc function returned NULL pointer
Segmentation fault

The same error occurs when I try XView example applications, too.

Command line tools from wfdb package work OK.

Here is the XView packages installed.

ii xview-examples 3.2p1.4-21.1ubuntu2 XView contrib programs
ii xviewg 3.2p1.4-21.1ubuntu2 XView shared libraries
ii xviewg-dev 3.2p1.4-21.1ubuntu2 XView development tools

This is basically http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=125391, and it's currently excluded from building because of that. I've regretfully removed the amd64 packages from Jaunty.

I'm confirming this bug because it happens to several users. Thank you for reporting!
