[SOLVED] Error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1

I'm trying to install zramd from the AUR with paru, but I'm getting the error:

make: error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What am I missing here?

Re: [SOLVED] Error while loading shared libraries: libgc.so.1

It's pretty self explanatory: you're missing libgc.so.1.  Use the -F flag with pacman to see what package owns that library.  Then explain how you have 'make' installed without it's dependencies.

edit: removed suspicion of partial upgrade as the info below makes that unlikely.

It says;

core/gc 8.2.0-3 [installed]
usr/lib/libgc.so.1

Try reinstalling that package.

Now I'm getting other errors... It was also missing libguile-2.2.so.1 before this, but I fixed it by reinstalling guile.
Think I messed up doing a pacman -Scc or something.

Since it's a new Arch install and already broke it, I think I'll just do a new install again.

Edit:
Think it actually had to do with how I had set up my btrfs partitions. It happened after switching between snapshots.
Did fresh install again, this time with the suggested filesystem layout for snapper. (was using /var/ instead of /var/log/).

Played around with several snapshots again and everything seems to be working fine now.

Solved
