After installing llvm-libs, I am unable to open Blender. I receive "error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.310: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
whereis libhdf5.so
returns /usr/lib/libhdf5.so. I suppose the error is occurring because the package installed in /usr/lib/. How may I fix this?
I managed to run Blender by copying libhdf5.so.311 as libhdf5.so.310 in the same folder. I hope this was the correct approach.
I'd recommend using portable Blender package from official website, because it has standalone python environment locked to this particular Blender package, when you install Blender in Arch/Artix it'll use system python which is really bad since many, maaany blender addons pollute site-packages, at the very least try to setup script/addon directories.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we say that we don't support Arch repos as part of your pacman configuration.
Wait.
