Seems like whatever that is it depends on a specific version of libmysqlclient which is not installed on your system. That's nothing arch related and not really linux specific - it's programming - so please file a bug report to tge developer.

It is related to Arch and is most definitely Linux specific. You may need to install mysql from the AUR, possibly an older version, not sure what provides that specific soname.

https://pkgs.org/download/libmysqlclient.so.21 indicates mysql 8.0.36 & 37 have it.

Try installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libmysqlclient80 .

Are you sure you installed ' libmysqlclient80 '?
Building libmysqlclient80 resulted in 3 packages,  mysql80, libmysqlclient80, and mysql-clients80 using my personal AUR helper.

$ pacman -Q libmysqlclient80
libmysqlclient80 8.0.37-1

$ pacman -Qql libmysqlclient80 | grep so
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.21
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.21.2.37

What do you get running these commands?

To run Vega and VegaTeam, I had to use  '/usr/share/vegalinux64/Vega' and '/usr/share/vegalinux64/VegaTeam' because:

$ ls /usr/bin/Vega* | xargs file 
/usr/bin/Vega:     broken symbolic link to /usr/share/vegalinux64/Vega82
/usr/bin/VegaTeam: broken symbolic link to /usr/share/vegalinux64/VegaTeam5

I edited the broken PKGBUILD at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vegalinux64 to build vega, and didn't fix the symlinks...

PKGBUILD:

    ln -s /usr/share/$pkgname/Vega82 $pkgdir/usr/bin/Vega
    ln -s /usr/share/$pkgname/VegaTeam5 $pkgdir/usr/bin/VegaTeam

To:

$ ls -1 /usr/share/vegalinux64/Vega*
/usr/share/vegalinux64/Vega
/usr/share/vegalinux64/VegaTeam

I also built libmysqlcient80, downloaded vegalinux64.tar.gz and extracted it to a new folder .
It ran fine from the extracted directory after libmysqlclient80 was installed .
