[SOLVED] Blender not starting: Error while loading shared libraries

Good morning folks,

the subject title says it all, basically. I installed blender and tried starting it up, all I get is the output

[daniel@Arch ~]$ blender
blender: error while loading shared libraries: libLLVM-10.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't have the slightest idea what this is trying to tell me, so help would be appreciated.

Greetings
Daniel

Have you been using partial upgrades?

Try

# pacman -Syu

(Which you should have used before posting here.)

Re: [SOLVED] Blender not starting: Error while loading shared libraries

I never do partial upgrades and upgrade my system on a daily basis using

* pacman Syu

Just ran it again to make sure there weren't any dependencies missing for some weird reason, no changes.

EDIT: Your question hinted me in the right direction nonetheless. I had to hold back upgrades for llvm-lib in the past due to compatibility issues with software I was emulating via wine. I updated these packages now and blender works, let's hope that the issues for the other software have been fixed by now.

Marking this thread as solved.

hmm, llvm is listed as a make depend for blender .
Usually programs build that way have a runtime dependency on llvm-libs.

try installing llvm-libs package, if that helps you may have found  a packaging error

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

I fixed the problems, once again it was my own stupidity rather than a problem with blender or my installation... Sorry guys.
