[LDTP-Dev] ldtp keeps segfaulting on ubuntu feisty

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

I compiled and installed ldtp on a ubuntu feisty laptop and having read the
tutorial, had a go at writing some simple scripts.  However, I seem to be 
having some trouble, ldtp keeps segfaulting.

I installed by downloading ldtp-0.8.0.tar.gz from the website, running
.configure ; make ; make install which seemed to go fine.

I have this very small script:

###########################################
#!/usr/bin/python

from ldtp import *

launchapp('firefox',1)
waittillguiexist('*-MozillaFirefox')

###########################################

If I comment out the waittillguiexist(), firefox launches fine but then I
get this output:

gavinmc at tilly:~/bin$ ./firefox.py 
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Killed

but if I leave the waittillguiexist() in place, I get the output below.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Is the current version usable on feisty?

Thanks in advance,
Gavin
