Proxychains libproxychains.so error

I've been trying to get proxychains to work on my system for quite a while now. It worked fine on my last Ubuntu system, but now that I've transitioned to Arch, it won't work. I've installed via the AUR and I've configured /etc/proxychains.conf

But when I do something simple, like

proxychains google.com

I get this error:

ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libproxychains.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

That happens when I try proxychains on anything.

Any idea on how to fix it?

Re: Proxychains libproxychains.so error

You're not the only one with the problem - see the last comment http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=675

Unfortunately I don't know how to help you, but you can

ln -s /usr/lib/libproxychains.so.3 /usr/lib/libproxychains.so 

to see if it will work.

Edit: This might be a better solution: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.ph … ic=89700.0
