Can't install wxgtk-dev

[ramjet1953]

I have been trying to install the KiCAD Librarian, but to no avail.

I keep running into the inability to install wxgtk-dev.

See the error below:

Failed to prepare transaction:

Any help, or explanation would be appreciated.

target not found: wxgtk2-dev

That package exists in the AUR.

pamac build wxgtk2-dev

Hi, Aragorn!

Thanks or the ‘heads-up’ !
It worked like a charm!
I’m still learning my way around Arch, as I have only recently changed over after 15 years of Debian-based distros, mainly Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
