I’m using Code::Blocks and have been using opengl for learning purposes then all of a sudden my programs no longer start up. I compile them, and when they start up they crash. I can’t even debug them because they crash before calling main. I get an error that says “SIGSEGV, Segmentaiton fault . Do you want to view the backtrace”, and when I do I get a window that shows only one item. “\_end\_\_()”. What is going on, my programs used to work fine.

I’m having the same exact problem. I noticed the programs work again when I uninstall my ATI drivers, but the graphics card intensive apps just break down, but I always get a segmentation fault at glfwOpenWindow(). I really hope someone resolves this. Thank you for confirming it, I’M NOT CRAZY!
