Error in Arch Linux after latest update on August 8th, 2018

/usr/lib/inox/inox: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.61: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This issue prevents inox from launching. Until there is an update, inox cannot be used on Arch. It seems this is the same error as #148 /usr/lib/inox/inox: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.61: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Arch Linux packages state:

local/harfbuzz-icu 1.8.7-1
local/icu 62.1-1
local/lib32-icu 62.1-1

Inox Version: inox-bin 67.0.3396.87-1

@d-packs, Yes this is correct. "harfbuzz" and "icu" seems to break Inox anytime there is a new version. I can confirm that it doesn't work with "harfbuzz-icu 1.8.8-1" version too. And re-compiling Inox myself takes forever, hardware is just too old. So please fix this issue, by releasing new updated Inox version that works. Thank You!

It seems that you can manually copy those library files to make it work. Here is a temporary workaround.

Download and Install old "icu" package; wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/i/icu/icu-62.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz sudo pacman -U icu-62.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Copy all "icu" files to a backup directory; sudo mkdir /usr/lib/backup sudo cp -r /usr/lib/libicu* /usr/lib/backup/
Install new version of "icu" again; sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/icu-62.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Copy this three files back to /var/lib/ direcotry; sudo cp /var/lib/libicui18n.so.61 /usr/lib/ sudo cp /var/lib/libicuuc.so.61 /usr/lib/ sudo cp /var/lib/libicudata.so.61 /usr/lib/
You can now cleanup backup files; sudo rm -rf /var/lib/backup

This should do it. If it still doesn't work for you, run "inox" command in your terminal to see which other files you need to copy. This shouldn't affect any other software. So far so good, until we have proper inox-bin update ^_^ This works for any version of inox and icu, as far as my local tests go anyway...

I switched from inox-bin to inox. It takes a while to compile but fixes the issue.

This above workaround is for existing installed inox. But if you want to use latest version of Chrome then recompiling is the way to go. But remember that the latest version of Chrome can have new features wich may prevent existing patches from working correctly.

Have tried the workaround but it did not "work" for me , so based on the workaround, here is what i did. In the first two lines i replaced icu-62.1-1x86_64.pkg with icu-61.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. Then i did the copy and install part of the workaround. Next i copied the files libicui18n.so61.1 from /usr/lib/backup to /usr/lib. And did the same with the files libicuuc.so.61.1 as well as libicudata.so61.1.

The only proper way to fix this is to rebuild the inox (inox-bin) package.

In the mean time, this indeed works:

curl -Lo /tmp/icu-61.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/i/icu/icu-61.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
tar --wildcards --no-anchored --warning=none -xf /tmp/icu-61.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz *libicudata.so.61* *libicui18n.so.61* *libicuuc.so.61*
sudo mv /tmp/usr/lib/libicu*.so.61* /usr/lib
rm /tmp/icu-61.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
rm -r /tmp/usr

Don't forget to remove /usr/lib/libicu.so.61 after inox has been rebuilt or updated:

sudo rm /usr/lib/libicu*.so.61*

Switching to "Ungoogled-Chromium" if anyone cares, as Inox no longer updated! You can find it here; https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
