Arch64 pacman issues

I've reinstalled arch maybe 10 times trying to resolve this issue, thinking maybe I was having problems with the setup but I don't think that's the case.

Anyway, what happens is when I use pacman to try to install anything (have tried gaim, fluxbox and gnome)

# pacman -S gaim --refresh

etc.

*If the installation works. I get an error when trying to run either of these.

error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

*-For gnome, I've had a large amount of issues installing giving me a list of files that already exist as the error.

If I could get any help with any of those issues, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Did you run "pacman -Syu" anytime?

I tried it recently but I can't completely update it, I get an error for a xorg-fonts file being corrupt.

Re: Arch64 pacman issues

Have you tried a different mirror? Try installing with the FTP install disc and use ftp.archlinux.org as the package source. I have no package named xorg-fonts in any repo.

I just tried that mirror it still says that xorg-fonts-100dpi-1.0.1-1.pkg.tar.gz is corrupt which is on the ftp.

Re: Arch64 pacman issues

remove the pkg from your local cache /var/cache/pacman/pkg and download it again ;-)
