Arch Linux

Works for me.

Would you care to look into that "Audacious seems to be already running but is not responding" warning, as well as to give us a backtrace of your segfault?

"Audacious seems to be already running but is not responding" is just a side effect of the program already having crashed on the last run (because of a stale lock file).

It works fine at work, I'll get the backtrace at home.

strace -o strace.log audacious

Well, what I see is Audacious trying to dlopen() a plugin (cue.so) and failing because libcue is not installed. What I don't see is why dlopen() should segfault in this situation. I tried to reproduce by uninstalling libcue from my system, and I did not get a segfault.

Why does audacious look for dynamic libraries under "/home/abique/local/lib"?
