Description:

After installing emacs, it won't start with the following error message:
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Additional info:
Package versions:
emacs-24.2-3
libtiff-4.0.3-1

I have libtiff.so.5 installed, perhaps emacs should be linked against this version.


Steps to reproduce:
# pacman -S emacs
$ emacs
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This task depends upon

Can't reproduce this. emacs itself links against libtiff.so.5, so this is probably caused by a custom emacs binary or a custom library required by emacs that has been left somewhere on your system. You can find this out using LD_DEBUG=all emacs, it will show you whatever it is trying to do when linking the required libraries.

That was indeed a custom binary, sorry for confusion.
