Applications should not try to write in the install directory.

If you extract this build into a read-only directory almost everything works, except for gtkwave. The GtkWave wrapper calls gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and this tries to update a file in release_topdir_abs.

This can be fixed by setting GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE= in the wrapper to a user writable location.

I (moved it lower) and set it to:

export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE="$XDG_CACHE_HOME/loaders.cache"

Thanks @DaveDavenport for pointing to this, have to do more checks, to generate file if it does not exists and test it on other platform. Hope to have this in next couple of days.

@DaveDavenport can you confirm it is working fine at your end ?

[DaveDavenport]

Just tested it, it seems to work. Thanks.
