It's probably something in C++ backend code for Agg. Maybe someone else on this list knows the last time it built and worked on Windows and can track down a change that may have broken it.
It will probably take some work with a debugger to figure out where it is crashing. I'd be completely guessing at this point. If you feel adventurous and can get a C backtrace out of the crash somehow, (does gdb work with mingw?), that could be useful. Barring that, maybe one of the other Windows folk on this list has some ideas. Thanks for your considerable patience ;) Cheers, Mike william ratcliff wrote: > Yes.
