Segmentation Fault, Abort trap: 6

[Marian Steinbach]

Hi!

I just installed pygame today after some time to re-animate an old project of mine. I used the current source from bitbucket.

I’m getting this error:

Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Abort trap: 6

What could it mean?

I'm on Mac OS 10.9.3, Python version is 2.7.5. SDL has been installed via homebrew just today.

Thanks!

Marian

I think it's just something that's crashed in the C code, so not a
useful error. Just use print statements to work out where it crashes,
and that might help you figure it out.

I don't recall exactly when I've seen this error before, but I think
failing to call pygame.init() can cause it.

If you're still stuck, post some code that shows the error.

According to here
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/kivy-users/QdSkaIcP9d0) this is
usually due to a faulty installation.
