Apologies for the misunderstanding. Here's the text with minimal changes:

Description:

After the 3.6 LTS update, Blender stopped detecting the HIP toolkit. After quick googling, I found a 2022 forum thread with the exact same problem: https://blenderartists.org/t/hipcc-compiler-is-not-found/1389070/5. They suggest using the .tar.xz distribution from blender.org as the Arch package seems to be broken. I tried it, and everything worked, suggesting that the problem lies within the package again.

Additional info:
* blender 17:3.6.0-1
* Zen kernel
* Radeon RX 6700XT
* Fully updated as of writing this

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install ROCm/HIP runtime on an AMD GPU system
2. Open any project and setup HIP devices in Edit->Preferences->System->HIP
3. In the Render tab, select Cycles and try to render
4. Observe the "HIP hipcc compiler not found. Install HIP toolkit in default location" error.

Do you have the "which" pkg installed? Anything logged if you run blender from a terminal?

Can you install hip-runtime-amd, add /opt/rocm/bin to your PATH and try it again?
