         │             | cannot open shared object file: No such file or

# especially if WeeChat is running.
#
# Use /set or similar command to change settings in WeeChat.

Re: weechat plugin error

That is a nonfatal error that happend while weechat was searching for available plugins. It means you cannot use the lua and spell plugins, but everything else is fine. If you want to use these plugins, you need to install some optional dependencies as described in

pacman -Si weechat
