Additional context It was working fine for past 6 months. Did not use it for few days, when I tried today, I got this issue. I have /usr/lib/libiniparser.so

Looks like this https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/iniparser/-/commit/11885ca3a924ac52a0329ccf95f8314663f9ebc6 removed the line ln -sf libiniparser.so.1 "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libiniparser.so

could be that the package was changed from providing a .1 to not providing a .1. Try doing a complete reinstall of cava.

I have the same problem cava: error while loading shared libraries: libiniparser.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory trying to reinstall cava did not solve the problem

I did try reinstalling before filing here.. error stayed the same.

I thought maybe that a rebuild would make it search for the library again and find the correct one. I don't think that there is anything in the cava build stuff that makes it look for the .1 link or not the .1

You would have to check with the iniparser arch package maintainer why the .1 was removed and how it is supposed to work now.

Same issue here, Arch + Hyprland

I thought that the linker would look for libiniparser.sowhen doing -liniparser. Normally libiniparser.so whould be a link to libiniparser.so.1 and the the linker would use that file instead, but if it was not a link that should also be fine. However if some update removed the libiniparser.so.1 and made libiniparser.so the only file available then any program linking to libiniparser.so.1 would start failing. However a rebuild should fix that.

did any of you arch people actually clone and build from source?

Got a fix, simply uninstalled the aur pkg cava, clone the repo and build it

nope sorry will do that now

I can confirm that installing the AUR package cava-git is working as expected
