I have installed SRWare Iron on my system but it won't run. I'm getting an error stating that libgconf-2.so.4 is not found. I did search for that package / library but I was unable to find much information on it. I tried to install it from several packages but I was unable to find it.
I searched for it but I have not been able to find from where I can install it. I searched the packages section on the Arch Wiki but was I was unable to find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

How did you install Iron? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iron-bin/ ?
Offline
% pkgfile libgconf-2.so.4
extra/gconf

I downloaded http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron-linux-64.tar.gz (64-Bit) and unpacked it. I ran it from there.
When I run pkgfile I get the same result: extra/gconf
Thanks again for the help!

Sorry, I forgot to add that https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iron-bin/ points to the link that I installed from.

Right, that means that that package contains the file in question. Have you installed it?
EDIT: If there's an AUR package, you'd be better off making the package and installing that. It'll (hopefully*) pull in the dependencies needed to run it.
*Depending on how good a job the maintainer has done writing the PKGBUILD

deets52, always update your system before installing new software.

OK, I'm going to put my noobness on full display.
WorMzy: I have not installed it. How do I do that? I can't seem to locate the file.
So, I guess I'm dumb - I built the system and did not update it. I ran 'pacman -Syy' but failed to perform the -Su. I updated the system. <shakes head>

If you're asking how to install iron-bin (or any other package) from the AUR, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

OK, for the record I never said I was smart but I think I'm starting to understand. I installed the extra/gconf package and that got me past that error. On to the next dependency....
I tried to install using 'pacman -U iron-linux-64.tar.gz' and that failed with an "invalid or corrupted package" error. I don't know if that the correct way to do it or not, I guess I have more reading to do.

pacman can install only packages that were created using a PKGBUILD. This is how you install software on Arch Linux.
Read the wiki how to use AUR. If you install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/iron-bin/ , you will have gconf and other dependencies downloaded and installed automatically - that's what pacman's for.

OK, so I guess unless I'm just missing the obvious there is not a PKGBUILD for iron. The software on the AUR page points to the package I'm using for this.
This was a big help because now at least I know all the needed dependencies and I can load those.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ir/iron-bin/PKGBUILD is the PKGBUILD.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AU … g_packages
Download https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ir/i … bin.tar.gz which has the PKGBUILD and some other files and use makepkg to build the package. If you need some dependencies or makedependencies installed, pacman will take care of it.

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who helped me. I really appreciate your time. I *think* I understand the process better. This is a new system so I had to get some things installed/setup (sudo, etc) to get this complete.
Please keep up the good work. I'm actually really surprised to be helped so quickly. I'll mark this complete.
