Segmentation fault inside SDL_CreateRenderer

Question

I'm trying to make skeleton SDL2 application on Xubuntu 14.04 (every packages are up to date).

Here is the my init function source code:

int map_x = 50;
int map_y = 20;

//The window we'll be rendering to
SDL_Window *gWindow = NULL;


//The window renderer
SDL_Renderer* gRenderer = NULL;

void
init() {
    if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0)
        eprintf("SDL could not initialize: %s\n", SDL_GetError());

    gWindow = SDL_CreateWindow( "SDL Tutorial",\
                                SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,\
                                SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,\
                                map_x, map_y,\
                                SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);
    if (gWindow == NULL)
        eprintf( "window could not be created: %s\n", SDL_GetError());

    gRenderer = SDL_CreateRenderer( gWindow, -1,\
                                SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED);

    if (gRenderer == NULL)
        eprintf("renderer could not be created: %s\n", SDL_GetError());

    //Initialize renderer color
    SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(gRenderer, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
}

But it seg faults inside SDL_CreateRenderer function. Here is gdb output:

And Makefile:

client : client.o
    gcc client.o -Wall -lm -o client `sdl2-config --cflags --libs`

client.o : client.c
    gcc -ggdb3 -lm -Wall -c client.c `sdl2-config --cflags --libs`

I'm using libsdl2-dev from official repositories. Do anyone know what is wrong here?

(posted previously as a comment, turned out to be an answer; some typos fixed)

I know nothing about SDL using, but the stack dump shows your close() function was called from inside the nvidia library. I suspect you superseded some other close identifier with your function. Try making your close strictly local by prepending a static keyword to the declaration: static void close() {...} or renaming the function to some my_close() or whatever...
