eh -- so it is wheezy... works for me on such a box just fine :-/

nothing obvious there unfortunately.  quick google lead me to the
following recipe you might like to try running, although since  we
haven't provided -dbg package it might not be as useful :-/

# from http://goldendict.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2310&sid=84be66f6afaad1ab89aaa499f2566c0b&start=10
1. gdb mrview
2. break main
3. run
4. break _XError
5. set _Xdebug=1
6. cont
7. bt

and then report backtrace back... if no names are there we would need to
provide you a build with unstripped binaries, or you could build it yourself

# enable deb-src sources in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neurodebian.sources.list
# sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep mrtrix
apt-get source mrtrix
cd mrtrix-*
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i mrtrix*deb

and repeat above gdb session
