Thanks for the report, I'll see if I can figure out the problem. This should not be needed, and is not correct anyway but should be harmless.

export XIC_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/xictools

xic.sh should be copied into /usr/local/xictools/bin as "xic" by the installer.

/usr/local/xictools/xic/bin/xic.sh

You should have /usr/local/xictools/bin in your shell search path, then just type "xic" to start the program. Note that /usr/local/xictools/xic is a link to /usr/local/xictools/xic.current, or at least it should be. Debian install scripts have not been checked much, though they should be the same as for Ubuntu. Regards, Steve Whiteley

I tried again with
/usr/local/xictools/xic/bin/xic
but got the same segmentation violation.

In order to have the packaging working for Debian, I had to modify the
xt_base/info.sh
script manually as the osname was decoded to LinuxUnknown.
This modification was done after make config.
I guess the parsing of /etc/os-release is not quite correct for Debian distributions.
I see from the gdbout that LinuxUnknown is still persistent so maybe the info.sh is used at some stage before make all
I attach my /etc/os-release
