hi, i've tried a few times to install gparted but it always never works from pacman. first it has a missing .so file and second it segfaults if you try to link in the .so that's present on the system :-/

i don't know what to do to fix it. this on arch64:

Code:

$ sudo pacman -S gparted

Targets: parted-1.7.1-1 libsigc++2.0-2.0.17-1 glibmm-2.12.0-1 cairomm-1.2.2-1
gtkmm-2.10.1-1 gparted-0.2.5-3

Total Package Size: 3.5 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]
