Hi. I have just tried starting to use w3af. I am running Debian Linux (stable) installed yesterday. I followed the installation instructions from here: http://w3af.org/download
Upon running w3af_gui, the splash screen shows up, then the tool crashes with the following error. Looking online has proven fruitless (old messages and/or messages about windows). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
