I used to be able to create catalogs just fine on Ubuntu, but I can't do it anymore on Arch Linux in VVV 1.3.0!
Clicking on "New catalog" brings the GTK2 file chooser dialog, then I type a non-existing filename like "new_catalog", but then VVV brings a popups error saying "Catalog not found: /home/user/new_catalog.vvv".
Clicking OK then freezes VVV, have to kill the program.
If I select an existing empty file, it says "Unable to continue. You have choosen an existing file", which is to be expected.
I don't see any error in std_err.
This is on Antergos/Arch Linux 64 bits. Otherwise the program run just fine.
Any idea?

I have solved the problem by "reinstalling" the program (essentially just inflating the binaries into a different directory).
I suppose there's an issue with how the embedded firebird database holds its credentials for creating a new database or something.
Spent 10 hours looking at the source code trying to figure out the problem. C++ is hard! :)

Nevermind, I know exactly what was the problem!
I had copied my VVV setup from another workstation and the isc_init1, isc_lock1 and security2.fdb files (under the 'firebird' directory) where copied over as well.
A new set of such files where generated on the new workstation and there must have been a conflict there.
Edit: actually, it might have been because the symlinks to the bundled libraries where not copied properly either.
I removed the entire ./firebird directory and replaced it with a vanilla one, and it works fine again now.
Sorry for adding noise. Hope this helps someone else with this problem.
