The latest version have introduced an internal change to make all
library state to be handled inside a single ctx object, as an initial
step to the 1.1 series.

Due to this, all API calls done to the vortex API before calling to
vortex_init could fail.

Try the following to initialize vortex:

/* init a vortex ctx: in 1.0 only one ctx is supported at the
   same time. */
VortexCtx * ctx = vortex_ctx_new ();

/* set the context to be used by the library 
  (this won't be required by next releases) */
vortex_ctx_set (ctx);

/* init the support module before calling to vortex_init */
vortex_support_init (ctx);

/* do here all configuration calls to add path, etc */
vortex_support_add_search_path (...);

/* now init vortex library using the context based api */
if (! vortex_init_ctx (ctx)) {
    /* handle error */
}

....then, to terminate the vortex function you must call to:

vortex_exit_ctx (ctx, true);

..or call to vortex_exit (which will still provide the same function for
1.0 serires).

Cheers!
