Unable to start Audacity

When I start Audacity it shows its logo over desktop background for just a few seconds and thats all. I found no sign of it in tops or Task Manager,

That is when starting from GUI, program menu or programstarter. When I start from Terminal I get the following:

@esprimo ~ $ audacity

will be grateful for help.

Fujitsu Esprimo, intel Core 2 duo, 12 GB ram, Funtoo Linux with its latest kernel. full updated yestaerday before reinstalling audacity.

Windows guy here. Is this the 3.3.2 AppImage from here: Linux | Audacity ®

No, this was compiled by Funtoo-s Portage.
Thanks for asking.

So the first thing I would try is running the above AppImage.
