I am happily running Calibre 4.15 and I was looking at installing and running the latest version on 64bit Slackware Linux: 5.8.1. However when using the binary provided from the Calibre site for 5.8.1 I get the following segmentation fault:

Code:

andrew@ilium~/tmp/calibre5$ ./calibre
qt.qpa.xcb: xcb_shm_create_segment() can't be called for size 17178820624, maximumallowed size is 4294967295
Segmentation fault
andrew@ilium~/tmp/calibre5$

For curiosity I also downloaded the binary from the Calibre web site for the last of the 4.x series: 4.23.0 and this ran without error. Curious...

My suspicion is that is perhaps a local system error rather than a Calibre error (and I have posted on the Slackware Forums as well to cover this possibility) but I am posting here in case any wise Calibre users can give a steer.
