Hi,I got a bit deeper into this and found that things happen while global wxWindows vars are initialized. From wxString::AllocBeforeWrite being in string.h I can see that your're using an older wxWindows version, which is it?
here comes the stack trace from the segfault I got when I tried to start pgAdmin on SuSE Linux 8.2 for the first time:
#0 wxString::AllocBeforeWrite(unsigned) (this=0x874d78c, nLen=4) at include/wx/string.h:188 #1 0x00000001 in ??

The latest version that is usable is June 18 (just checked), later versions are broken for non-win32. So please use cvs update -D 2003-06-18 to obtain a wx version.
