Segmentation fault at glGenVertexArrays( 1, &vao );
My gdb backtrace gives:
(gdb) backtrace
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()

Not very informative. Eclipse debugger at least lets me see that it stops on line 3 below:
// Create a vertex array object
GLuint vao;
glGenVertexArrays( 1, &vao );
glBindVertexArray( vao );
This is a very common block to see in gl programming, and I'm even running other code with the same block with no problem. So I'm baffled.

Answer
glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
glewInit();
Should do the magic
GLEW obtains information on the supported extensions from the graphics driver. Experimental or pre-release drivers, however, might not report every available extension through the standard mechanism, in which case GLEW will report it unsupported. To circumvent this situation, the
glewExperimentalglobal switch can be turned on by setting it toGL_TRUEbefore callingglewInit(), which ensures that all extensions with valid entry points will be exposed.
