segfault during demo on redhat7.3 PIII

[mwm]

Hi,

Celestia looks really interesting, but it's a bit disconcerting that I can't seem to get through
its complete demo. I get a segfault just as it's zooming in towards Saturn on two distinct Redhat 7.3 installations (one a PIII Dell desktop the other a PIII Dell notebook). The stack gets majorly trashed, running under gdb doesn't produce anything usefu:


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0811aec8 in glActiveTextureARB ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0811aec8 in glActiveTextureARB ()
Cannot access memory at address 0x3f800000
(gdb) up
Cannot access memory at address 0x3f800000

Here's a list of the libraries against which I'm linking:

Thanks for any suggestions on how I might fix this, I've love to see the rest of the demo and learn more about it.

Hi again,

I should have searched for "Saturn" instead of "Demo" before posting, sorry about that.

I see in http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=512 that a simple workaround is
to disable the rendering of multiple textures. Doing that let me see the demo to
completion.
