Hi Manuel, nice to see you here. I don't know what's going on, but it will help if you can provide some more info. "signal 11" simply means it crashes which is not very informative yet... It even crashes with dfbinfo (the simplest application I know) ?
Can you give a stackdump? Not sure if you know so.. type "gdb name_of_your_program" in a shell, then after the (gdb) prompt simply "run", and as soon as it crashes do "bt" to get the stackdump. Complete log is best :) and "quit" to get out of gdb..
