Dear Julian,

we have never observed this kind of behavior. A segfault is not something you should ever get.

Could you please update to 2.18.0 and check if the problem persists?

Best regards, Jochen!

Hi

Please could someone suggest the most likely reason why current NEST (v2.16.0) appears to install ok (tutorials tested work) but fails during make installcheck for pynest tests:

$ make installcheck ...

Phase 7: Running PyNEST tests.

Using nosetests.
