[xcrysden] immediate crash after launch (1.5.24-3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8)

[Marino Vetuschi Zuccolini]

Hi Kiyo,

if you search about the topic on the list probably you will find that on some Mac Xcrysden runs well on other Mac not (video flickering mainly).

I solved some weeks ago the problem installing on VirtualBox an Opensuse distribution on which I transferred all the unix packages compiled firstly on Mac OS X.
Maybe I betrayed the Mac philosophy but now XCrysden runs perfectly and Virtualbox is stable and customizable depending on available hardware.

Hope this helps
