If I run fs-uae-launcher (front end to an Amiga emulator), I get this: phil [ ~/Downloads/To Sort ]$ fs-uae-launcher [LOGGING] Logging to /home/phil/FS-UAE/Cache/Logs/fs-uae-launcher.log.txt FS-UAE Launcher 2.9.7dev2 ['/usr/bin/fs-uae-launcher'] uname_result(system='Linux', node='undertaker-v2', release='4.19.4-gentoo', version='#1 SMP Mon Nov 26 16:02:38 -00 2018', machine='x86_64', processor='AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1075T Processor') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/fs-uae-launcher/fsgs/Archive.py", line 12, in <module> from lhafile import LhaFile ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lhafile' [ARCHIVE] LhaFile module import problem [SETTINGS] No settings path specified [SETTINGS] Using default /home/phil/FS-UAE/Data/Settings.ini [SETTINGS] File /home/phil/FS-UAE/Data/Settings.ini does not exist [I18N] Initialize_locale language = [I18N] Locale is en_US [I18N] Checking /usr/bin/share/fs-uae-launcher/share-dir [I18N] Checking /usr/bin/../share/fs-uae-launcher/share-dir [I18N] bindtextdomain fs-uae-launcher: /usr/bin/../share/locale [I18N] find translations for en_US in local directory /usr/bin/../share/locale [I18N] Path to mo file: None [I18N] Translations object: <gettext.NullTranslations object at 0x7fc2210f24e0> malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size KCrash: Application 'python3.6m' crashing... Alarm clock phil [ ~/Downloads/To Sort ]$ However, if I run as root, then the program launches and runs normally. I only see an issue like this with the launcher. fs-uae on its own runs fine under my account. This did work a few months ago, haven't used it for a while and had various things update, so not sure what broke it.

I don't know if this will help anyone but I just installed SDLMame 0.226 from an overlay - it redid a lot of Python libraries and now fs-uae-launcher works. I know for a fact it was not working before I installed SDLMame. Leaving this open in case someone does eventually pick it up to see why it needed to be root to run but then SDLMame corrects it...
You may have grabbed this from an overlay because it wasn't in the Gentoo tree until now. The version in the tree is the older stable version and the ebuild is quite different so you probably won't hit this issue.
Correct, couldn't tell you without checking which overlay it came from. I'll take a look at the one in the legit tree now, thanks for the update.
