[SOLVED] xbindkeys fails to start

$ xbindkeys
xbindkeys: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As you can see I'm having a bit of trouble launching xbindkeys. I can't find any post dealing with this on the forums. Any of you more intelligent beings out their know of a possible solution?

I had just installed xbindkeys along with its dependencies.
I am using solely dwm.
My Arch Linux installation is on a USB, though that seems irrelevant given that all my other programs run.

EDIT:

Solution

I was just fiddling around and upgraded the package from a mirror download of libltdl from the repository and pacman -U 'd it and it seemed to fix the problem.

Run 'pacman -Syu' and try again.
