[Openal] Segmentation Fault on calling alcOpenDevice

[Ravi Kumar]

Hello Friends,
I am using linux (ubuntu 8.04), kernel : 2.6.24-18 generic.
I am using alsa devel headers version : 1.0.15
I am using OpenAL which i downloaded using SVN, and compiled myself using
gcc : 4.2.3

The problem i am facing is that whenever i call the function : alcOpenDevice
(NULL), i get segmentation fault.
The actual code is wrote is :
ALCDevice *dev = alcOpenDevice (NULL);

after a trying demos that came with the source (they all got segmentation
faulted), i reconfigured OpenAL and passed
--enable-debug-maximus to configure script and then recompiled and then i
ran my program using gdb.

The ouput from gdb (the step which got segmentation fault) is :

Any suggesstions on what can be wrong here, and/or how can i fix it ? :)

Thanks
