Trying to launch wickrpro and I am getting this error.

Hey guys, I am trying to launch wickrpro but I am getting this error:
This program was compiled against version 2.6.1 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, which is not compatible with the installed version (3.7.0).  Contact the program author for an update.

Now I  have got this (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libprotobuf2/) installed, how can I make it so that wickrpro launches using it?

Thanks.

For whatever reason it works when I run it as root. I will post an strace...

Re: Trying to launch wickrpro and I am getting this error.

You didn't post the complete output.  The strace shows that it is printing a message before the program exits that it must be run as root.  This would explain why it is only working as root.

How do I post the complete output?

Re: Trying to launch wickrpro and I am getting this error.

You copy and paste it into code tags - but that's not really relevant now.  It seems the program expects to be / is required to be run as root.

Your strace didn't show any library errors that I could see, but it did exit with the error message that it needs to be run as root.

Somebody on IRC said this:

.:HawkinsTheWizard:. from what I'm reading is that your snap has a lot of missing files and needs to create as root, and possible '/run/user/1000/' permission errors

Hmm...

Wait what, this is a snap? Have you read this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snap

Yes, I've read that... Nothing relevant though. Not to me...
