I am not sure I fully understand you.

A segfault is a segmentation fault; a problem (most likely in the code) which tries to access memory (or any other used resource) that is not assigned to it. The OS shuts down the program so as to not affect other running procs.

When you say "run a 'c' program..." did you mean you compiled it, and then attempted to execute it? Which program is it? You will have to be a bit more specific with the details.

Cheers.
