I had the same experience, Performer 3.0.2 on Redhat 9, gcc3.2.2-5, glibc-2.3.2-5.
perfly and other larger apps build and run fine, but smaller programs segfault
at pfInit(). this includes pfconv and most of the samples in pguide/libpf, for
instance hello.c.
i can't figure out why either, but just for kicks try this - it worked for me:
insert the following code anywhere in your main() function:
(from pguide/libpf/C/complex.c, one of the few sample programs that didn't bomb)
/*****************************/
if (WriteScene)
{
FILE *fp;
if (fp = fopen("scene.out", "w"))
{
//pfPrint(scene, PFTRAV_SELF|PFTRAV_DESCEND, PFPRINT_VB_DEBUG, fp);
//fclose(fp);
}
else
pfNotify(PFNFY_WARN, PFNFY_RESOURCE,
"Could not open scene.out for debug printing.");
}
/*******************************/
and declare WriteScene as
static int WriteScene = 0;
this may seem like a fairly pointless code snippet, but it does seem to do the
trick. you'll notice that it will never execute and is also mostly commented
out. more magic.
