I installed the rasmol package under OpenSUSE 11. The program crashes on startup with a segmentation fault. Using gdb I got the following:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The program works fine if I start it from my Ubuntu box via ssh -X, but it crashes when run directly from within OpenSUSE 11.
I also tried installing the latest rasmol rpm (2.7.4.2) from software.opensuse.org as well as a previous version (2.7.3). I even tried compiling it from source myself. The result is always the same: rasmol segfaults on startup.
I’m running out of ideas. Please help!
