I'm trying to get LeoCAD to work on my linux box without much sucess. I
downloaded leocad-0.73-linux.tgz and the pieces.zip files, extracted the
pieces to /usr/share/leocad and copied leocad to /usr/bin. I have
tried starting it as a normal user and as root using either of these
commands:

leocad
leocad -l /usr/share/leocad

In both cases my X server crashes, dropping me back to a console prompt.
I have the NVidia kernel module and GL installed (version 2.0-1512) and
libpng snd libjpeg are installed. I can run other GL programs, including
ones I have written myself, so I#m pretty much at a loss as to why I can't
get LeoCAD to work.

Any advice or suggestions welcome!

Chris
