Ubuntu 10.04 problems with 3d acceleration and segmentation fault

[Legacy_atomictown]

               I went through all the steps to install NWN Gold on my machine but when I run
./nwn

I get the error:
Error
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)


Any help? I really wanna play this game again.
Also, I'm not too familiar with ubuntu, just switched to it from XP.


Edit: Ok, I got some new errors now.
Failed to initialize graphics
Segmentation fault

I removed the ./lib line from the script like a few things I saw suggested to do, but most of the posts I'm finding are from 2006 and 2008.

I guess i need to enable 3d acceleration somehow, so if anyone can point me to something current as to how to do this with an nvidia geforce 460 card I'd really appreciate it.

               You will have to install the nvidia drivers - ubuntu by default only installs the open source drivers, which probably won't support 3d acceleration for your gpu.

               Ok, I had to reinstall Ubuntu and now have the current nvidia drivers installed.

Now when I try to start a new game I get "Segmentation Fault" when I click to make a new character or use a pre-generated character.

Was there ever any progress made on this?

I just installed NWN using the excellent Linux install guide available here. The game starts fine, I have even set everything up to watch videos, but when I try to start a character, I get a segmentation fault.

This is on a Slackware -current (think development) install using the official Nvidia drivers. I've never even played NWN before, and hate to think I wasted my money on a game I can't play.

               Well, I can play just fine on my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, even though nwn is 32bit. The segfaults may be caused by changes of security measures in memory allocation in libc since nwn came out. You might try the following: Add the line

export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

to your nwn start script, right before the line  that contains ./nwmain

It may or may not help since there are several possibilities why nwn crashes.
