Hi there, i met some problems with my pacman before so i just decide to compile it again. I download the src and then execute the following commands
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install
but after these, when i run my pacman, an error occurs:
pacman: symbol lookup error: pacman: undefined symbol: alpm_option_set_usedelta
i couldn't find any related information on the web, does anyone know what exactly happened?
thx.

What kind of "problems" did you meet that made you think you needed to recompile pacman?
I'm not trying to be obnoxious -- I really am curious.

I compiled pacman once on another distro so that I could maintain my arch install from there. Though at the time I was moving towards using my arch install as my daily driver. Now it is really the only install I use.

If this symbol isn't defined, then you compiled alpm from git. The patch that changes the name of this function is unreleased.

I try the link you give, but now there is another error message.
pacman: undefined symbol: alpm_option_get_syncdbs
Did I misunderstand something?
