Re: HelpViewer 0.3 : error while linking

Hi Yavor,

Thank you for the answer.
I was able to get the source from Debian repo and got it compiled.

But after the installation, the app cannot be opened : it failed with a 
segmentation fault after many 
warnings about 'incorrect signature'. Here is the output :
