Apvlv not starting: Segmentation Fault

Hi, since this morning (CEST timing zone ) apvlv stopped working, and is going seg fault everytime... i don't know if it's because of an upgrade (i had 3 pacman -Syu before using apvlv), so i'm asking here did you notice that or am i the only one?

thanks you guys

No problems here: using 9.3-1

I had this problem also following the upgrade. The solution (from here) is to delete .apvlvinfo, and it then should work fine.

Re: Apvlv not starting: Segmentation Fault

I'm having problems running apvlv... I have installed texlive and did a system upgrade and now apvlv fails during startup, but only if I execute it by itself or call :help within the app.

I get this error message:

[tomislav@shakenbake knjige]$ apvlv 
Error: Couldn't create temporary font file
some font thing failed
Error: Couldn't create temporary font file
some font thing failed
Error: Couldn't create temporary font file

Error: Couldn't create temporary font file

Error: Couldn't create temporary font file
some font thing failed
Error: Couldn't create temporary font file
some font thing failed

...

If I start apvlv as root, everything is O.K. If I start it this way: "apvlv myFile.pdf" it works fine, but when I try :help, it fails (opens a blank document) with the above error shown in the terminal.

What do I do?

Ignore this post... I have found the problem: misdirected rsync filled up my /  - fixed it.
