This happens on amd64 but not on i386. In fact, if built in a i386 chroot (like wine) it will work on the same amd64 system where it fails if built natively. This has been a problem for at least the last few versions, and possibly longer. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Build and install cad/qcad on an amd64 system 2. Start it up 3. In the file menu select either "Print" or "PDF Export" - you don't have to actually create a drawing 4. If you selected "PDF Export" then follow the prompts for the file to save 5. qcad will exit with a SEGV >Fix: This is not a very easy work around, but cad/qcad can be built as a 32 bit application on an amd64 system, pretty much like one would do for emulators/wine. You have to set up a 32 bit chroot, build and install it there, then fix up all the symbolic links that get created with absolute paths. After all that you need to specify an appropriate LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH each time you want to run qcad. But it will work that way. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
