[SOLVED] strange lirc error on update

Just updated laptop, using lirc 0.9.0.pre1-3 and get this:

I first had this error:

└─> sudo /etc/rc.d/lircd restart
:: Stopping LIRC Daemon    [FAIL] 
:: Starting LIRC Daemon      [BUSY]
/usr/sbin/lircd: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
                                             [FAIL]

So I did:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so /usr/lib

Then am getting this now:

└─> sudo /etc/rc.d/lircd restart
:: Stopping LIRC Daemon     [FAIL] 
:: Starting LIRC Daemon       [BUSY] /usr/sbin/lircd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/lircd: undefined                            
                                              [FAIL]

Re: [SOLVED] strange lirc error on update

Your update must have included the transition to libusb 1.0.  The libusb library that lirc wants is in libusb-compat now:

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4
/usr/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 is owned by libusb-compat 0.1.3-1

lirc works fine here.

And don't neglect to delete any experimental symlinks before installing libusb-compat ;-)
