gthumb doesn't start an gives the error:

gthumb: error while loading shared libraries: libexif.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and, in fact, there's no libexif.so.9
a ls /usr/lib/libexif* gives:

/usr/lib/libexif.a /usr/lib/libexif.la /usr/lib/libexif.so /usr/lib/libexif.so.8 /usr/lib/libexif.so.8.0.0

Thanks for you comment.

The current gthumb (2.8.1-1) has libexif as a dependency and libexif provides libexif.so.9.

Can you take a look at the following and comment on any differences you have? If your output from the following commands is the same as mine, can you indeed verify that you have libexif installed?

[john@limbo gthumb]$ pacman -Qi gthumb | grep Depends
Depends On : libart-lgpl libexif libgnomeprintui libgnomeui
[john@limbo gthumb]$ pacman -Ql libexif | grep libexif.so.9
libexif /usr/lib/libexif.so.9
libexif /usr/lib/libexif.so.9.1.2


Thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Ahhh, I see the problem. I didn't read you first comment close enough.

I accidently compiled gthumb against a newer version of libexif not available in the repositories. I will upload a new package ASAP. Sorry for any inconvienience.

Fixed and Closed:

>> gthumb needs a libexif version greater than Arch provides.
>> libexif dependency removed.
>> gthumb 2.1.8-2 uploaded to repositories.
