Running applications from terminal [SOLVED]

I am brand-new to Arch and aside from Ubuntu, have no linux experience. I have arch up and running with openbox as my WM, but I am at a loss of how to run applications. I type firefox, or Thunar into the terminal and receive errors that read:

firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: 9_datalist_get_data

or with obmenu:

ImportError: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: 9_datalist_get_data
