Weblinks (http) open correctly in most apps, but not in zathura (mouse double clicks on links). Any help ? Archlinux with bspwm here...

zathura will simply run xdg-open $URL to open a link. First question: does that work for you? If yes, please strace zathura and check what it executes. You can also build the current develop branch and enable full debug output to get some info on the links.

Hi. thanks for your reply. xdg-open $whatever works from a shell : the link gets opened in chromium.

When I start zathura from a shell (usually I do so from emacs), links open up inside the terminal.

Here's what the terminal says after I exit zathura (sorry it's in french):

/usr/bin/xdg-open : ligne 756 : 12598 Trappe pour point d'arrêt et de trace              (core dumped)"$command_exec" "$@"

@xavlab Thanks for reporting this issue. Can you please try to run zathura with "set sandbox none" in your zathurarc file.

The line "A parent process set prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, ...)" is exactly what seccomp does, which is used by default by zathura to prevent increasing privileges by a sandboxed application.

Yeaah... Works with that option ! Many thanks.
