REPORT
This is the error that pops up when i click the part design module.
-------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
Segmentation fault.
----------------
I have tried to check the console in the software by running import Part, the following is the response.
---------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/freecad/lib/Part.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9BRep_Tool14CurveOnSurfaceERK11TopoDS_EdgeRK11TopoDS_FaceRdS6_Pb
-----------------------------------------------
Attached to this is a FreeCAD log.
Conclusion
At this point, i am unsure what the likely cause of this error is, i am investing a possible dependency breaking by opencascade.

0.16 is very old, 0.17 is old. Please retry with a current 0.18 or wait a few days, it will be released as stable soon.

on further investigation i have uninstalled the libraries for opencascade and freecad, installed freecad and opencascade and am still getting the same errors.
Am out of ideas officially!

Thank you for your timely responses everyone![

With regards to the link
i tried the installation on another ubuntu installation and it worked perfectly,which is why am not led to report this as a bug.

i cant find the user config file in the .FreeCAD directory

Do you mean there is no user.cfg in $HOME/.FreeCAD or you can't find the hidden .FreeCAd directory?

There is a Macro "findConfigFiles", installable via Addon manager, which might help you.
