I installed gcompris on ubuntu 10.10 and when i tired to run it, it exited immediately. i ran it from shell giving the command gcompris and got the folowing message.

akn@ubuntu:~$ gcompris    
** Message: Binary relocation disabled

I guess you found a bug due to the failed Segmentation fault message. But first try to erase the datas from $HOME/.config/gcompris and $HOME/My GCompris in your home folder, and try Gcompris again.

If you still see the error message, I really recommend you to open up a bug against the Gcompris package. There is a very good answer to How do I report a bug? with a well illustrated path to report a bug, and a link covering many possible scenarios on reporting bugs using launchpad.net.

And don't forget to include in your bug report:

  • Your Ubuntu version
  • Gcompris package
  • The reproducible details
  • The log message (the output you got when you ran it from shell)

Thanks!
