That's why I include it in the vanilla launcher--it will work for all situations: vanilla or custom.

I'd just like to see Reuben return to a completely stock distro Sigil installation so we can properly debug what might have been happening.

I reinstalled Sigil, the /usr/bin/sigil script now is:

#!/bin/sh

# Entry point for Sigil on Unix systems.
# Adds linked Qt's lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

QTLIB_DIR="/usr/lib"
SIGIL_BIN_DIR="/usr/lib/sigil"

if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SIGIL_BIN_DIR:$QTLIB_DIR"
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SIGIL_BIN_DIR:$QTLIB_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi

# Create an environment var for the Sigil share directory location.
if [ -z "$SIGIL_SHARE_PREFIX" ]; then
  SIGIL_SHARE_PREFIX="/usr"
  export SIGIL_SHARE_PREFIX
fi

# Not really needed anymore but left in for fringe cases
#if [ -z "$SIGIL_EXTRA_ROOT" ]; then
#  SIGIL_EXTRA_ROOT="/usr/share/sigil"
#  export SIGIL_EXTRA_ROOT
#fi

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

exec /usr/lib/sigil/sigil "$@"

I also removed the sigil.conf file and... Sigil crashes again in my system. For an unknown reason, Sigil can't find the gumbo library.
