At times I run into segmentations and casting errors (I do realize both are different kind of errors).
Mostly I solve them, but it takes me a lot of time to do so. I wondered is there a guide or way of approach to solve this kind of errors more quickly and in a logical way? Or is it just.... you have them, deal with them!!! :).

ps. Do we have here also an forum where I can ask questions about VI and GDE?

Thanks in advance,
Joke.
You mean segmentation fault? These are usually easy to find with a debugger. Just look back at the stack and figure out why the value is incorrect.
Not sure what you mean by casting errors, so not sure what to do about them - the only errors I know of with regards to casting is source errors, and compiler errors are always the easiest to find (in comparison to errors not detected by the compiler - sometimes compiler errors can be a bit difficult too) - not to mention that you should avoid casts as much as possible anyways.

Don't write them in the first place, and compile as you go. Rather than writing a huge program with 50 zillion errors which you have to fix all at once.
By "casting errors" do you mean using the wrong format specifiers for printf()? That's a reasonably common mistake.
gcc will warn you about this if you enable warnings.
Code:gcc -W -Wall program.c -o program
