Waybar breaking due to incompatibility with libspdlog

29 November 2024, 22:20:25

The current version of spdlog, libspdlog.so=1.15-64 is incompatible with the current version of waybar, or with how waybar was compiled.
When I run a newly installed waybar from the extra repos I get the following:

Code: [Select]

waybar: error while loading shared libraries: libspdlog.so.1.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On an updated system with spdlog and waybar installed the latter starts without error.
Waybar should be installed from the Artix world repository, not from Arch's extra.

I seem to have misspoken, I actually installed both from the world repo, now I've deleted both packages and reinstalled them from world/ explicitly, just to make sure, and the issue still persists.

What is the output of:
- pacman -Q waybar
- ls -l /usr/bin/waybar
- ldd /usr/bin/waybar | grep libspd

Thank you, that helped me solve it:
the outputs were:
waybar 0.11.0-4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1970872 Nov 13 00:54 /usr/bin/waybar
libspdlog.so.1.15 => /usr/lib/libspdlog.so.1.15 (0x00007dfff3c9e000)

Since it's seeking precisely the library it has, I realized I had an old executable left in /usr/local/bin/waybar. Deleted that and everything works now.
