in this case, your main is '__init__' and your directory is 'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy' which is probably not what you intended. You should make directory 'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages' and main into 'numpy'
Still, it shouldn't segfault, and it's worth figuring out why it does. gdb has been mostly unenlightening for me since gdb won't let me navigate the traceback. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
