Game crash

[llamapimp]

On the fist mission of the standard campaign if I try to view spotted enemies (either by pressing space, or using the button in the GUI), or raise the camera up a level the game immediately crashes.  Here's the console output...
==== InitGame ====

And here is the data from gdb

I'm running it on Ubuntu 7.04
Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Mattn]

if this is reproduceable for you, could you please join our irc channel for further investigation? that would be very kind.

[Mattn]

as a workaround you can also set gl_shadows cvar to 0

i hope this will prevent the game from crashing

[llamapimp]

I tried running the game with the gl_shadows cvar set to zero, I able to target aliens and move the camera level, however it's still crashing.

for which action do you encouter this crash?

what is your gfx card? drivers?

btw which arch? amd64 or x86/i386?

[llamapimp]

It's happening when I end my turn.

I'm running a geforce 6600gt with the 9755 drivers on x86/i386.

[Mattn]

did you compile yourself? or are you using the ubuntu packages?

[llamapimp]

I'm using the ubuntu packages.  By the way, I really appreciate all your help.  

[Mattn]

maybe you should try to compile it yourself - i'm using ubuntu 7.04, too - have a geforce and so on, too - no crash here

grab the source from svn or use the tar-ball: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157793&package_id=194208

there is a little step-by-step for debian based systems at: http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Debian
