I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

I cannot start Bluegriffon any more: segmentation fault.

Changing theme has no effect.

Re: I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

What version? Is your system up-to-date? When did it start to segfault? What was upgraded that triggered the fault?

Re: I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

My system is always up-to-date (daily).
Bluegriffon has been flagged out of date (last version is 1.8)

This is the output

[piero@archlinux ~]$ bluegriffon

(process:16457): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
*** LOG addons.xpi: startup
*** LOG addons.xpi: checkForChanges
*** LOG addons.xpi: No changes found
Errore di segmentazione (core dump creato)

I don't know exactly what triggered the problem, since I was not using it for 2-3 weeks. During that time I have made a lot of updates.
One thing is sure: the same happens in both LXQt and Plasma Desktops.

Re: I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

Unfortunately the author of Bluegriffon hasn't yet released the source code of Bluegriffon 1.8 neither has provided a 32 bit version of the binary package.
Furthermore he don't replies to my email messages.

There's no way to update the Bluegriffon package to the latest version 1.8

Re: I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

I know. I have checked before the site for source code. I have asked here after some searching.
My question was empty of details because I did  check already most of common problems.

Re: I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

Stable version is at 1.8.  Are you on 1.8?  Has 1.8 ever worked for you?  The reason why I ask this is because there is a big warning saying to uninstall previous version prior to installing 1.8.
Also, it is best to write all the common things you've done for troubleshooting.    gl

Re: I cannot start Bluegriffon [SOLVED]

No, arch version is at 1.7.2-4, see previous post.

If you look at this page
http://bluegriffon.org/pages/Download
you wlll see that linux version is really 1.7.2
No trace of 1.8!

If I extract the file download.tar.bz2 from that page to a temporary directory, I can start bluegriffon, but when I open a new page there is some error about resource unavailable (too quick to read the message...)

However, also removing configuration file, the actual arch version 1.7.2 is not working.
I could try to re-compile it, but it will take some hours.
