Strange, very strange.  What is your PAGER environment variable set to?  Use:

echo $PAGER

to display it.  The ? command calls a system pager, I wonder if that's 
triggering a segfault.

Can you try to issue a few simple commands in ipython, NOT using the ? 
operator?  Something like:

In [1]: 1+1
Out[1]: 2

In [2]: print 'hello'
hello

In [3]: range(2)
Out[3]: [0, 1]

In [4]: import inspect


And let me know (copy/paste your screengrabs) what you get.

Cheers,
