Pacman uses the wrong shared libraries

Hi!

I had had MCR's path in the PATH. Since then pacman uses (or at least it tries to) the shared libraries found in MCR's path. It causes errors like this:

pacman: /home/labuwx/Applications/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/bin/glnxa64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libalpm.so.8

The output of 'ldd $(which pacman)':

/usr/bin/pacman: /home/labuwx/Applications/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/bin/glnxa64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libalpm.so.8)

How can I get pacman to use the proper libraries?

Re: Pacman uses the wrong shared libraries

You definitely did something to your installation by installing out-of-tree packages. Check if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set and where it's pointing at. Also see

man ldconfig

presumably, there's your problem remove it from the PATH and your problems will likely vanish.

you should install it following the wiki page
