Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04LTS
When MathMap is compiled on Ubuntu 17.10 and also 18.04 clicking the 'Composer' tab will crash MathMap.

Workaround: Compile on Ubuntu 17.04 and add a symlink for Ubuntu 17.10.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.23 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.19
(you will have to install libgsl2, libgsl-dev)

Investigation.
There were significant library changes between Ubuntu 17.04 and 17.10.
Interestingly, MathMap compiled on the later 17.10 works perfectly on 17.04 with the symlink going the opposite way
(sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.19 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so.23)
That means it is caused by new library in Ubuntu 17.10.
Possibly GTK3, GDM or Wayland. Also Ubuntu has dropped i386 forever but I don't think MathMap is effected.
Any testers who can confirm this? I'm using Xubuntu.

This is issue was resolved by Ubuntu 18.04. Many of the Libs in Ubuntu 17.10 were unsuitable for compiling MathMap.
