Re: [SOLVED] couldn't start gdm using gnome 3

That sort of error is normally caused by some breakage during package download or installation.  The file /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0 is owned by tcp_wrappers.  Try downloading that package again and then reinstalling it.

Re: [SOLVED] couldn't start gdm using gnome 3

If the reinstalling approach solved your problem for libwrap, i would repeat it for  the other libs as well. Just apply pacman -Qo on the files you mentioned to see which package they are associated with, then pacman -S it.
