I have a standalone app which runs on Python2.6 and wxPython2.8.
The app runs fine on all versions of Ubuntu up to and including 11.10.
I've recently tried running this app on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine and
received a Segmentation Fault.
Although Python2.6 is not available on this Ubuntu version the app I'm
trying to run is packaged with all necessary Python2.6 and wxPython
libraries. My questions is whether Python2.6 is simply not compatible
with this Ubuntu version or is it worth while to continue debugging
and see what might have caused this seg fault?
Did you build Python 2.6 on 12.04 or was it built on an earlier version? Does that Python start up in the interactive interpreter okay if you run it with no parameters? Do you get a core file when it crashes? If so you can load it into gdb and do a backtrace. If there is enough debug info available then it may show you information about where it is crashing and how it got there. If you're not getting a core file then you can use ulimit to turn it on.
