Can't start latest Opera version : segmentation fault

Hi,

I installed and reinstalled multiple times the latest version of Opera (44.0.2510.1449) and each time I start it I got the following error :

$ opera
[1]    5247 segmentation fault  opera

When I use ldd on /usr/bin/opera, libffmpeg.so is missing :

$ ldd /usr/bin/opera | grep 'not found'
    libffmpeg.so => not found

But the file is here :

$ ll /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1551320 Apr 24 19:04 /usr/lib64/opera/libffmpeg.so

If I ldd opera binary in /usr/lib64/opera the library is found :

$ ldd opera | grep ffmpeg     
    libffmpeg.so => /usr/lib64/opera/././libffmpeg.so (0x00007f4e68992000)

Starting directly the binary inside that directory produce the same issue. So I backtrace through gdb after the crash :

(gdb) run --single-process
Starting program: /usr/lib64/opera/opera --single-process
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

I reproduced that step at multiple times and I always end-up with the following last call :

#0  0x000000000045efbb in  ()

So I also tried to use strace, here the last lines :

To finish some of my GTK libraries version :

gtk+-1.2.10-x86_64-5                      
gtk+2-2.24.31-x86_64-1

Well, let me know if you need further details. But I'm stuck since one week and it really hurt my feelings to use Firefox or Chromium

Sorry for the output, I used markdown but I failed.

Look better now? You need a blank line before each block.
