Segmentation Fault on .Clear

[hobocop]

Hi! I stumbled upon this project and decided to give it a try, it seems pretty good but I have had loads of trouble getting it to work.

My system is Ubuntu 9.4.

I followed the tutorial instructions for installing 1.6, but that didn't work so I installed from the Ubuntu repositories, which are at version 1.4.

So I compiled this example file from the documentation.
http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/1.4/

It compiles and runs, however it segfaults on line 42

Code: [Select]

        // Clear screen
         App.Clear();
If I comment it out, the program runs fine, but of course is unusable.  I also tried to run the Pong program from the 1.4 sample files, and the same thing would happen, (Segfault on App.Clear() ) but commenting it out allowed the program to run, but of course it was not very illustrative.

Any Ideas why this would be? All I have done is copy the text from the website for the first program, and copied  text of the pong program.

Below is the source of the Pong Example program. (I changed the name of the font it loads since I don't have a cheeseburger font.)

i found that it is because the window is not being created but i dont know how to fix it... it never happened before but i was working an another project for a while and when i came back to sfml it happened

[shawninder]

I have a similar problem when I try using SFML/samples/opengl/OpenGL.cpp

Not only does it reference inexisting images:

datas/opengl/background.jpg
datas/opengl/texture.jpg

but it also segfaults on

App.Draw(Background);
App.Draw(Text);
