are you using Argyll CMS from the distribution repositories? If so, try using the official binaries from argyllcms.com instead.
sorry for the delay. this kind of got put on the back burner. I guess I was using the ones from the repos. How do you install the official ones?
How do you install the official ones?
It’s as easy as downloading & extracting, then choosing “Locate Argyll CMS executables…” in DisplayCAL’s “File” menu.
I have no real excuse for not noticing that. Thanks for the heads up. Everything works now.
Is there a reason why argyllcms is broken in repos? Is this something that upstream has been notified as being a problem?

I don’t know what distributions are doing, but Fedora especially has been known for recurring breakage as they make sometimes incompatible changes to the upstream version. The safest bet therefore is usually to simply use the pristine upstream binaries.
