I have an ATI Radeon card with the Mesa driver. Whenever I try to create a new gemwindow PureData quits on me. Can anyone explain some more about this fatal error?

output terminal:

Well after reading a lot on the subject I did what I probably should have done in the first place... Uninstall puredata & components and reinstall them. Now it seems to work.

Oh well, another lesson learned.
