Building from source went fine. But when I installed my own build
pstoedit seems to be broken for me as you describe below. I then tried
your original binary tarball and that works like a charm.

Running my pstoedit through strace shows:

Can you send me your configure/make/install logfiles so that I can
compare with mine ?

Given that your build works fine I would say GTG.

Try running pstoedit under strace. At least libEMF passes it's testsuite.

Again please send your configure/build/install log files so that I can
compare.

Yes please upload as is at the moment.
