Error while loading shared libraries: libplist-2.0.so.3

You may get this error running KDE plasma:

error while loading shared libraries: libplist-2.0.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You may get it opening a konsole.

I got this error trying to run Uxplay.

Anyway here is the fix for it. Create the link below.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libplist-2.0.so /usr/lib/libplist-2.0.so.3

Symlinking the wrong library version is NOT a fix.

We have libplist 2.3.0 in all branches which provides libplist-2.0.so.4. You need to rebuild uxplay.

EDIT: uxplay is an AUR package, this has nothing to do with KDE. Maintaining the AUR packages you install is your own responsibility.

As this also happens in konsole for some users, it makes me think this is an Arch snafu. ?

What part of what I just said don’t you understand? Delete your symlink and rebuild uxplay on the newer library.
