Description

Hi all user here (not a developer). Installed Hexchat on my MacBook Air w/ Apple Silicon M1... I'm not running Rosetta 2 (I haven Intel Mac for that)...

Installed with:

sudo pkgin -y install hexchat

It installs. I attempt to run it after using:

hexchat

and get the error back

zsh: segmentation fault hexchat

I'm running XQuartz for x11

Is this packaged Hexchat Intel code?
