[sword-devel] BibleTime or Sword crashes on startup on Mac OS X

[Martin Gruner]

Alfonso,

sorry for the silence you experienced here.
Well I am not an expert in this area, but it looks rather like a sword bug / 
compile issue. Could you try to compile and run the sword test programs 
included with sword? That might be a starting point for you to investigate 
further.
