When producing a segfault you're typically accessing a memory region that you should not access, e.g. dereferencing a NULL pointer.

The core file that has been produced will give you a clue where the problem lies. (If you're using gcc use the '-g' option for producing debugging info; gdb -c <core file> <executable file> will then help you to identify the problem).

As suggested by arne you can use gdb with core toidentify the problem.
after u have started the program with gdb and core type "where" which will give you the place where the program has crashed
