[bt-devel] Seg Fault Bibletime on linux

[Matthew Talbert]

For what it's worth, sword will sometimes hose existing modules if you
reinstall them over top of existing modules. For this reason in
Xiphos, we always delete the module first. I just noticed this again
with the command line installmgr. I don't know how BT handles this.
(and if I had time right now to track it down, I'd file a proper bug
report...)

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.
