[Solved]Cannot start RStudio. Problem with libboost_chrono.so.1.81.0

I installed RStudio from the Unofficial User Repositories, but when I launch the program it shows this message in the terminal:

rstudio: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_chrono.so.1.81.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I must add that i have boost-libs installed, this is the pacman -Qi output:

Re: [Solved]Cannot start RStudio. Problem with libboost_chrono.so.1.81.0

I installed RStudio from the Unofficial User Repositories

That's not one specific thing, that's a bunch of repos run by random individuals, and can vary wildly on how well they're maintained. If it hasn't been rebuilt in over 5 months (when boost was updated to 1.83), that's a clear indication that it's pretty much dead.

Re: [Solved]Cannot start RStudio. Problem with libboost_chrono.so.1.81.0

Thanks for the replies, I had installed RStudio from this repository:

[rstudio]
SigLevel = PackageOptional
Server = https://aur1.gitlab.io/$repo/$arch

I guess that Scimmia is right, the repo is outdated. I chose the rstudio-desktop-bin AUR package and it worked just fine. The program launches without any issues.

So not just rebuilt, that package hasn't been updated in a year (ok, a few weeks short) and is multiple versions behind.

Edit: Removed the repo from the page in question. No updates for a year and completely broken for over 5 months, it's dead.
