Segmentation Fault

[nmb]

Hi,

I am using avast! linux home in ubuntu 32bits. When I try to run avast with "sudo avastgui" in terminal, there is no problem. But simply "avastgui" from the command prompt doesn't work. I get an error (see pic1-although it doesn't give any details.) I can't hit the details button in it since it goes off in a fraction of a second. But in the terminal i get an error(see pic2)- Segmentation fault.

Kindly, let the procedure to fix it be simple as I am much of a windows user.  :'(

Might be problem in the path - believe or not, but empty : at the end of unix ld_library_path path might cause crash in ld.so.
Try to run it in strace -f avastgui >out 2>&1

and have a look inside the out.

Another cause might be corrupted user's VPS - just delete his .avast subdirectory (weith the broken vps).
