Segmentation fault, using minib3d?

Righty I can compile 2d max programs perfectly but when i compile the demos that come with Minib3d they fail with a 'segmentation fault'.

Im using a:
Asus eeePC 701SD (8Gb)
eeebuntu (Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with all the updates)
BlitzMax SVN version
Minib3d v0.52

Any ideas

[EDIT] I can run 3d games on it but not minib3d :s

I can also run the 3d engine posted in the blitzmax opengl forum, this works perfectly. I can only conclude that its something to do with Minib3d anyone have any ideas?
