Further testing reveals some oddities. 1) I can only run waveMixer as root, if I run it as a normal user it segfaults 2) the UI is not in english 3) the preferences option in the window doesn't do anything (brings up no dialog or window when clicked) 4) double clicking a directory, clicking "home" or entering a path in the file browser results in a crash: "*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08109470 *** Aborted" 5) dragging a wave from nautilus results in the progress bar moving about 1/4 of the way then nothing else happens, the program locks up 6) dragging an mp3 results in a crash: "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08109d50 *** Aborted" So basically I've not been able to so much as load a file. I'm running gentoo and built waveMix from source, I can provide any additional information needed. I'm not sure what could be wrong on my end, no other apps crash this way for me. Anyway, I'm still interested in seeing this thing work as it seems to be heading toward a wavelab replacement. -ry
