Segmentation fault (core dumped) when viewing a .HEIC file

[theorin]

I am trying to run .tgz installation on almalinux in order to get support for .heic files as oposed to flatpak installation I have been using up until now.
XnView starts and runs normally, however when opening a folder with .heic files, XnView crashes.

This is my terminal output:

Any ideas what might be the problem?

[xnview]

which libheif version do you have?

[theorin]

I have libheif version 1.7.0

[xnview]

please update to 1.12.0+

[theorin]

I am afraid there is no repository providing higher version than 1.7.0 for any RHEL 8 distribution.
I can try to install it manually from a Fedora .rpm file and see how that goes. I am just not sure if it's a good idea.

[theorin]

Manual installation didn't go through.
I tried copying libheif.so.1.16.2 directly to the XnView/lib folder and creatinf simlinks libheif.so and libheif.so.1 within that folder as well.
Interestingly enough doing so removed the heic format from About/Formats. Without me removing libheif library from the system.
