a segmentation fault happens when there is a bug in *your* code, its not something we can fix for you. usually it happens because you have tried to modify some memory that hasn't been allocated yet, such as:

int *thing;
*thing = 2;

you can get the programs 'gdb' (command line debugger) and 'ddd' (gui debugger) to help you track down your error

Can you help with this problem?
