Dear Ronald,
thanks for your report.

The LD_PRELOAD workaround shouldn't be needed anymore, after the fix released for mesa package ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/259219 ). In particular, libstdc++.so.6 is preloaded anyway from the top level libavg python package. In addition, your attempt to preload fails, because the path to libstdc++.so is not correct.

This bug is probably related to libavg more than empcommand itself, by the way, can you please:

1. run a gdb session and dump the backtrace:

$ gdb python
(gdb) run /usr/games/empcommand
<wait for the program to crash>
(gdb) bt

2. run this minimal snippet and see if you get a crash as well:

$ python
> import libavg
> libavg.AVGApp.start(resolution=(640,480))

(in case you don't get the segv, you'll see a black window. Attempt to close the window (which won't close) and CTRL-D on the shell).

Thanks!
