As a temporary workaround, I created a symbolic link for the library.
Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libplist-2.0.so /usr/lib/libplist-2.0.so.3

Hope that this helps someone get to their desktop environment.

Edit: Ah... Found the forum post referenced above after searching for the library on the forum. So, looks like it's the same solution from there. Tip: Never reference another thread without actually linking to the thread as time shuffles visibility.
