[Solved] overall shared library issues

Question

Hey, I'm having some trouble. I recently borked my system and did a reinstall. I made a list of packages before I reinstalled and after reinstalling, I intalled everything from that list. However, When I did so, I forgot to enable multilib first. Now I constantly get "libXYZ.so.I was not found, no such file or directory." Is there an easy way to fix this?

Answer 1

Alright so I wrote this little script to check for missing files in all of my packages, and nothing shows up.
#!/bin/bash
pacman -Qdq |
while read package
do
for file in $(pkgfile -l $package | cut -f2)
do
if [ ! -f $file ] && [ ! -d $file ] && [ ! -L $file ]
then
echo $file
fi
done
done
So none of these shared libraries are actually missing. Here's a specific example: winetricks throws this error at me when I try to install vcrun2010:
err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"msxml3.dll": libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But I know for a fact the libxml2.so.2 exists in /usr/lib/ and libxml2 is installed and up to date.
This is just one example this happens with several programs and with different shared object files each time. Any suggestions? Should I just reinstall again but properly this time?
