Please state:

- the exact three-section version number of Audacity from Help menu > About Audacity,
- whether you installed your distribution's release, PPA version, or compiled Audacity from source code.
Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x are obsolete and no longer supported. If you still have those versions, please upgrade (see

The old forums for those versions are now closed, but you can still read the archives of the
1.2.x and
1.3.x forums.

If you self-build wxWidgets 3.0.2 from
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/ ... .2.tar.bz2 with no configure arguments, install that Widgets build then run ldconfig, Audacity should build fine.

I have no idea if my wxWidgets uses STL. I don't know how to check. I am using the version that is available in the opensuse Leap 42.1
Then that's the answer. It's configured with STL. I have raised a bug report about it yesterday:
http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1393.

My apologies.
I am not using the opensuse Leap 42.1 package. I originally used it, and it crashed as described. I then switched to the latest version in the Packman Leap 42.1 repository. I believe the error messages were the same.

I've left a message on the opensuse multimedia forum. Hopefully the devs will see it and speed up the update.
I maintain and am bugowner of audacity on openSUSE, I'm in the process of submitting wxWidgets-3_0-nostl in order to get the update going. If you had filed a bug at openSUSE it would make the submission easier. Audacity-2.1.2 is available in
http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... _Leap_42.1 and the wxWidget without stl are in :
http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... _Leap_42.1 both need to be enabled. Version 2.1.2 is also in Packman but I'm waiting for them to link wxWidgets.
Maybe the best place to install audacity-2.1.2 ATM is :
http://pmbs-api.links2linux.org:8080/ho ... Leap_42.1/
Substitute "openSUSE_Tumbleweed" for Tumbleweed,
Please open a bug at :
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org it will make my life easier.
I stumbled on this thread searching for an earlier thread where the user had built there own wxWidgets and audacity on openSUSE to use as ammunition to get my wx package into factory.
