Hi Enrike,
i'm afraid i can't help too much.... i'll recommend that you try to
compile the object on your system (flext and xsample) instead of using
the binary.
It would also be helpful to know where exactly it freezes (running in
gdb and printing the backtrace).
I'm abroad and therefore not able to build anything until the end of
September, but let's see if we get it running.
