`Segmentation fault` when running vpython

Question

I'm trying to run the vpython bounce ball demo code. But each time I run this script the window pops up super fast and shuts down again. Then I get a Segmentation fault(and only that! no other info). Does anyone know how I can run Vpython properly?

Extra info:

Installed vpython from the Ubuntu Software Center(name package: python-visual)

OS: Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bit

Graphics driver: VESA: M92

Python version: 2.7.2

This worked for me:

sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so
