Awesome WM is not working (libev.so.3)

Hi

I've been an Awesome user on Arch for about a year now. Awesome has awesome keybindings!

Unfortunately, I get this error from running awesome since this morning:

awesome: error while loading shared libraries: libev.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does anyone know what causes this in Arch? Maybe it is because awesome is not in the repos anymore ...

For now, I have to stick with openbox, which I do not know mush about.

like xduugu  said:

Make sure to recompile awesome after upgrading to libev >=4.01-1. Otherwise, awesome will not start the next time due to a .so bump. I'll increase the pkgrel when it gets moved from community-testing to community.

Also, vicious-git does not seem to work anymore.

I had this problem too this morning, to fix it, I rebuilt the latest release (3.4.8-2) from aur:
yaourt -S aur/awesome

Everything works like a charm again
