Problems starting k3x

[hanpov]

I'm seeing the following stacktrace when trying to run k3x:

GI search path:

I'm running arch linux with KDE.
What caught my eye was that LD_LIBRARY_PATH env that's empty. Any ideia on how to get it to run?

I have the same issue, running Fedora Core 38 with Gnome. I'm not feeling optimistic about a solution since this issue is more than a year old, but I thought that I would report it. 😉
