Knowing that the crash occurred in libc is not very useful. Can you get a stack trace? This may help: https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/Debug_Instructions#Analyze_a_segmentation_fault
I’ve tried to start Slicer in gdb on Linux by following these instructions, I get the error below. When I try to debug using VS Code, I get the same error.
osboxes@osboxes:~/D/Slicer-SuperBuild-Release/Slicer-build$ ./Slicer --launch /usr/bin/gnome-terminal

@jcfr Do you know how to fix this?
