wings3d crashes at startup

Binary package hint: wings3d

This bug report concernes wings3d 0.98.36-5 in Ubuntu 8.04.
Since gutsy wings3d won't start for me anymore. On the console I get:

I use HiPE, but its the same with the normal erlang package. The bug was also reported here (for an older version of wings3d):
