[Solved] GTK2 segfault on install

When installing GTK2 on a completely fresh system (just wiped and reinstalled) I get the following:

# pacman -S gtk2
[TRUNCATED]
/tmp/alpm_ar0q0N/.INSTALL: line 1:    952 Segmentation Fault    (core dumped) /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 --update-cache
error: command failed to execute correctly

Interestingly if I run gtk-query-immodules-2.0 --update-cache manually as root I get a segfault:

# /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 --update-cache
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

But if I run with sudo it seems to work:

$ sudo /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 --update-cache

Any help would be appreciated. The only gtk2 app I use is eclipse, which segfaults when I start it (even after running gtk-query-immodules with sudo).

EDIT stacktrace:

# gdb /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Also it would appear that it also happens with gtk-query-immodules-3.0 (which I'd assume is the equivalent for gtk3).

It's just a guess, but try https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1523241

That was it! Updated the microcode and everything is working now.

Thanks!
