Segmentation fault at glGenVertexArrays( 1, &vao );
C++DebuggingOpenglSegmentation FaultC++ Problem Overview
My gdb backtrace gives:
(gdb) backtrace
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()
#1 0x0804a211 in init () at example1.cpp:147
#2 0x0804a6bc in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff3d4) at example1.cpp:283
Not very informative. Eclipse debugger at least lets me see that it stops on line 3 below:
// Create a vertex array object
GLuint vao;
glGenVertexArrays( 1, &vao );
glBindVertexArray( vao );
This is a very common block to see in gl programming, and I'm even running other code with the same block with no problem. So I'm baffled.
Build output from running make:

C++ Solutions
Solution 1 - C++
glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
glewInit();
Should do the magic
Experimental Drivers
> GLEW obtains information on the supported extensions from the graphics
> driver. Experimental or pre-release drivers, however, might not report
> every available extension through the standard mechanism, in which
> case GLEW will report it unsupported. To circumvent this situation,
> the glewExperimental global switch can be turned on by setting it to
> GL_TRUE before calling glewInit(), which ensures that all extensions
> with valid entry points will be exposed.
Solution 2 - C++
Works fine for me:
GL_VERSION : 4.1.10750 Compatibility Profile Context
GL_VENDOR : ATI Technologies Inc.
GL_RENDERER : AMD Radeon HD 6500 Series
EDIT: I'm using the latest versions of FreeGLUT (2.8.0 RC2) and GLEW (1.7.0), which may make a difference if you're relying on distro-supplied versions.
Solution 3 - C++
Have you tried testing on other systems with different graphics cards? If your code meets the OpenGL spec and it mysteriously crashes inside a function that is correctly called with valid parameters, it could well be a driver bug. If it's a driver bug, you're reduced to guesswork, making shotgun changes, and gradually building up a healthy exasperation that a huge corporation with billions of dollars produce absolutely crap excuses for a graphics card driver. Good luck!
Solution 4 - C++
Ubuntu 10.04 for example comes with glew 1.50 which glGenVertexArrays doesn't work without the glewExperimental flag.
so it is glew version dependent
