Segmentation fault is a very generic problem and could be caused by any number of things depending on what you're doing. It results from some sort of memory allocation or access problem, often relating to pointers. Commonly it's because you try to access an area of memory you have not malloc'd or you are trying to access a memory that has already been freed.

A good idea is to stick in some printf() statements, then you can track down exactly where your program dies, then when you look it might just be something really obvious.

He never said he wrote the program. He is just trying to run it.
