Does not launch on ArchLinux : No more handles because there is no underlying browser available.

OS : ArchLinux (updated in november 2023) Architecture : AMD64 XOWA version : 4.6.12.2009 Display Manager : Xorg Window Manager : i3

I downloaded the XOWA binary from the xowa.org website, unzipped it and tried to launch it from the command line. A pop-up with the following error appeared :

Sorry! XOWA failed to run!

Please check the TROUBLESHOOTING section in the readme.txt for known issues.
