error while loading shared libraries: libOpenEXR-3_3.so.32 (linux)

[CarloCattano]

on arch I've had issues before from having too recent updated libs. Now another blocker to the list

projectGenerator: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenEXR-3_3.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ls /usr/lib/libOpenEXR*
/usr/lib/libOpenEXR-3_4.so	     /usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore-3_4.so.33	      /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil-3_4.so
/usr/lib/libOpenEXR-3_4.so.33	     /usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore-3_4.so.33.3.4.4  /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil-3_4.so.33
/usr/lib/libOpenEXR-3_4.so.33.3.4.4  /usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore.so		      /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil-3_4.so.33.3.4.4
/usr/lib/libOpenEXRCore-3_4.so	     /usr/lib/libOpenEXR.so		      /usr/lib/libOpenEXRUtil.so

pacman -Qs openexr
local/openexr 3.4.4-1
    A high dynamic-range image file format library

And there are probably more. I'm blocked from using of since a few months already if not a year...

oww does OF uses libOpenEXR? or it is another pacman dependency hell?

[danoli3]

It’s apart of the outdated freeimage libraries so yes. However it can be omitted due to security reasons
