Same segmentation fault for me in Ubuntu 11.04
Neved had this problem before on earler versions of Ubuntu.

[Eduardo Rivas (jerivasmelgar)]

Same issue, all I've seen of Xiphos in Natty is the splash screen for a split second. Please, fix this one, the application is simply unusable now! Thanks.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Neil Manson (nelydajo)]

I am also getting this same segmentation fault on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 on a Lenonvo T500.

I installed libsword8 1.6.1, and Xiphos worked.

I suspect that Xiphos will run, if recompiled for SWORD 1.6.2.

[Pavlo Bohmat (bohm)]

xiphos_3.1.4-3_amd64: FAIL
libsword8_1.6.2+dfsg-1_amd64
~ubuntu 12.04

[ibidem (ibid-ag)]

Paul: Did you recompile it yourself?
sudo apt-get build-dep xiphos
apt-get source --compile xiphos
If not, the Precise version was compiled against libsword8_1.6.1, and then libsword8 was upgraded to 1.6.2; there appears to be a small binary incompatability..
This may be a separate bug that we're having.

[ibidem (ibid-ag)]

Paul: I filed a separate bug for Xiphos/libsword8 in suite Precise: LP #935574
Please use that bug report for Precise.

[Ernest Kudron (kudron2)]

sudo apt-get build-dep xiphos
apt-get source --compile xiphos
Did not fix. Problem still exists.

[dFlyer (ggaribaldi)]

xiphos and sword-language-pack-en seems broken. When I install both xiphos can't locate the .sword directory in my home folder. If I remove .sword from my home folder and than recreate .sword and than copy the /usr/share/sword/ directories to my home .sword folder than sword works. I can also create a link to the usr/share/sword directories to my home folder and that works also. So I believe that it's the sword-language-pack-en program that is broken.

[Teus Benschop (teusbenschop)]

This bug report occurred in 2011. It is now 2020.

New versions of Xiphos have been released.

Does the bug still occur in the newest Xiphos?
