Flair3.4 crashes when clicking on Geometry in Linux

Dear experts,

I installed Flair 3.4 on a Linux system, but when I open the Flair interface and click on “geometry,” it crashes with the error: line 18: 64445 Segmentation fault (core dumped) {PYTHON} -O -W ignore {DIR}/flair.py. I have reinstalled it several times and switched Python versions, but the issue persists. However, Flair 3.2 works fine, so I’m unsure where the issue lies. Is there a problem with Flair 3.4 on Linux systems? What should I do?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @lichen
my guess is that you are using a different python version from the one that was used to compile the geoviewer library. flair 3.2 is working probably because it was compiled with the python version you have.

To help you better can you please tell us:

  • How did you install flair (from the .tgz, .deb, .rpm)?
  • What linux OS system do you have?
  • Why you are using a different python version from the system one?

I would strongly recommend to:

  • either use the standard installation procedures depending your OS as described in the Official flair site
  • either download the .tgz and compile from the source (following again the instructions on the above site), however paying attention that during the compiling the makefile is properly detecting the right python you want to use. Or alternative you force the python you want.
