@ -7,6 +7,48 @@ There are a number of questions that repeatedly need to be answered.
The following document tries to answer some of them.
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
---------------------------------------------------------
Most of time, this issue is due to an usage of old graphics driver. Install the
latest graphics driver available for your graphics card, and it could be ok.
If not, please report a detailled issue to github, by following the
:ref:`contribute` document, in the section `Reporting an Issue`. This is very
important for us because that kind of error can be very hard to debug. Give us
all the informations you can give about your environment and execution.
Technical FAQ
=============
undefined symbol: glGenerateMipmap
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You might have a too old graphics card. Update your graphics drivers to the
latest available version, and retry.
ImportError: No module named event
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you use Kivy from our development version, you must compile it before
using it. In the kivy directory, do::
make force
Pip installation failed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installing Kivy using Pip is not currently supported. Because Pip force the
usage of setuptools, setuptools hack build_ext to use pyrex for generating .c,
and they are no clean solution to hack against both weird behaviors to use
Cython. (Reference: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/nipy-devel/2011-March/005709.html)
Solution: use `easy_install`, as our documentation said.
