[bt-devel] Seg Fault Bibletime on linux

[Gary Holmlund]

  Tom,

I have tried using Calvin's Institutes and Finney on Fedora 13 without 
seeing any problem. You mention that Xiphos also does not show 
Institutes right. Perhaps your copy of these modules has been damaged in 
some way. Perhaps you could rename your sword ($HOME/.sword) directory 
temporarily and download these two modules using only BibleTime (no 
Xiphos) and see if they work.
