faust segfaults on zorin 17 based off ubuntu os

[ospfeigrp]

SO, i build faust as per the instructions here: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/wiki/BuildingSimple

make and make install are run
typing faust --version in the terminal returns:

So i proceed to clone davids hise repo with faust
navigate to hise makefile for faust and build.

the build completes but i get a seg fault anytime i change the script from the dropdown menus for the faust node

any help with this or what am i doing wrong

things i have tried:
1:compiling faust 2.50 -> compiles fine but not will not compile with hise

i build faust as per the instructions here

I'm using the version included in my distro, Debian Testing v2.77.3

@d-healey yes just tried: FAUST Version 2.79.3 and it compiles with hise fine however i now get:

HISE Standalone: /usr/lib/llvm-13/include/llvm/IR/Instructions.h:959: static llvm::GetElementPtrInst* llvm::GetElementPtrInst::Create(llvm::Type*, llvm::Value*, llvm::ArrayRef<llvm::Value*>, const llvm::Twine&, llvm::Instruction*): Assertion `PointeeType && "Must specify element type"' failed.
Aborted

this is only when hise loads and i add faust node and change script.dsp

i'll try version 2.77.3 now and see

@ospfeigrp Which version of g++ are you using?

To be clear, is it this action that is causing your crash?

[ospfeigrp]

@d-healey yes that's exactly the problem. only on change it crashes to desktop

g++ (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0

[d.healey]

@ospfeigrp I'm using 11.5 but I don't think that would make a difference. In my gif those test files just contain the default faust code added by HISE when you create a new .dsp file. Do you get the crash under those circumstances?

@d-healey

ok so it wont let me create a new file either same llvm error

Screencast from 2025-03-23 20-35-58.webm

/usr/lib/llvm-13/

this LLVM version is too old: use at least LLVM 15.

I have llvm 13, 14, and 16, so try one of those.
