Does from within gdb `thread apply all backtrace full` produce a backtrace with more symbols? I am assuming you allowed debuginfod [1] to fetch symbols? If you use the PKGBUILD [2] to build guitarix in a clean chroot [3] does that work?

Hi Loqs, thank you for the advice. My bad. Now the result :

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x00007f90e1141d12 in FcRuleDestroy (rule=<optimized out>) at ../fontconfig/src/fcxml.c:89
Downloading source file /usr/src/debug/fontconfig/build/../fontconfig/src/fcxml.c
89 FcRule *n = rule->next;

Also, a hint towards a font problem is now printed (it did not appear previously) when starting guitarix:
[daniel@frisee ~]$ guitarix
Fontconfig error: "/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/60-generic.conf", line 65: cannot get parse buffer

Is it a local problem in my fonts ?

When i tried to build from source i downloaded the code as is from SourceForge and followed the instructions. I don't have a PKGBUILD for this software.

output of 'pacman -Qkk fontconfig'?

Hi,
In the meanwhile i tested guitarix on two other Arch machines and it works like a charm there. Thus it looks like my font system is messed up. I wonder if there is a way to repair or uninstall/reinstall the font system (from a live system perhaps ?). Anyway obviously the guitarix package is not the culprit, and this task can be closed.
Many thanks for your kind attention on this issue.
Regards
Daniel
