Evince crashes on every pdf file

I tried to open all kinds of pdf's, but all of them crashes Evince.
Evince was working in the previous version, but now it's not.

I tried to recompile afterwards Evince with>

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
              --localstatedir=/var --disable-static \
              --with-print=gtk --enable-nautilus \
              --enable-debug --enable-impress \
              --enable-pdf --enable-tiff \
              --enable-djvu --enable-dvi \
              --enable-t1lib --enable-pixbuf \
              --enable-comics --enable-impress \
              --disable-scrollkeeper --without-libgnome || return 1

Where I added>
--enable-debug --enable-impress, I though that --enable-debug will print debug messages, but instead I get nothing special, just a hash code .

gnu_d ~/Desktop  $  evince OOFontTest.pdf
527d163f-3c42-42a4-3dbb59a3-059c4d18 is dumped

I managed to make a workaround,

evince -w file.pdf

and it's working, but I can't use it in Firefox.

I get this output from the preview version>
gnu_d ~/Desktop  $  evince -w OOFontTest.pdf

** (evince:32516): WARNING **: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

This is not a good replacement, please help me fixing it, or tell me how to make the debug messages running, to debug the src code.

I forgot>

Evince Document Viewer 2.22.1.1
Using poppler 0.10.2 (cairo)

Re: Evince crashes on every pdf file

I did some research, and I found that these're permissions error.
I opened the same file with sudo>

gnu_d ~/Desktop  $  sudo evince  OOFontTest.pdf

I see no output, everything works.
