I’d look for which package provides that library - or is supposed to provide it.
Apparently it isn’t there.
I have zero experience in this SDR area.
It would be my guess and recommendation to make sure that your system is fully updated.
It probably isn’t.
None. 
EDIT:
Ah wait, I just figured this is for ARM. 
Well ldd output would still be nice.
And add to it:
pacman -Q gqrx rtl-sdr
EDIT 2:
Nevermind, gqrx wasn’t pushed into stable and testing ARM yet, so you’ll have to wait for that.
Ahh - ok.
I try to pay attention, but I often miss this, at least initially.
In this case:
I have zero knowledge and should not have said anything at all.
Sorry @Craft - nevermind. Ignore what I said.
That ldd output is unreadable.
Anyway, as I said, you either have to wait for gqrx to be pushed to stable, take it from unstable branch or downgrade rtl-sdr.
My system has been completely updated to stable mode.
Please my result:
# pacman -Q gqrx rtl-sdr
gqrx 2.17.3-1
rtl-sdr 1:2.0.1-3

That’s provided by rtl-sdr, FYI. However, the current library is currently librtlsdr.so.2:
❯ pacman -Fx librtlsdr
extra/rtl-sdr 1:2.0.1-3
usr/lib/librtlsdr.so
usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.2
usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.2.0.1
usr/lib/pkgconfig/librtlsdr.pc
Wow, this is awesome! 
Can I do this in a stable branch?
Yes, the same version is in all branches. See Packages
However you may need to update your local database to match the repo:
sudo pacman -Fy
I’ve already done this -
sudo pacman -Fy
More:
pamac install rtl-sdr
Preparation...
Attention: rtl-sdr-1:2.0.1-3 is not outdated -- skipped
There are no tasks.
The transaction has been completed successfully.
What exactly should I do next?
I have no clue what you may or may not have going on there. The one error you mentioned above is for SoapySDR which I do not have but see gqrx searching for it also in my terminal before it finds my device.

No idea because…
… tells us absolutely nothing. Please try again.
All I did was check the library versions and told you how to check–and that’s all I’m going to do.
Please see:
But gqrx is not.
I found a simple solution that helped launch Gqrx 2.17.3 from the stable branch:
ln -s /usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.2 /usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.0
That’s never a solution.
But it really works. And it’s better than waiting for who knows how long until someone finds the “right” solution.
Sorry, no, it’s not a solution. While you think it might work temporarily, you will have problems in the future.
If you think you know better, then why are you asking for help?
This thread will be unlisted so others don’t find it and follow it.
If you think you know better, then why are you asking for help?
Show me where I said I know better?
I didn’t say that, it’s your invention.
On the contrary, I first turned to all of you for help.
But did you help help me? No.
Therefore, I was forced to find a solution to the problem on my own.
It’s not the best solution, but it works.
When you may be find the right solution, then I will use it.
