Thanks fontenot! That worked great.

@guido there is no update to perform, Arch users are expected to rebuild AUR packages themselves when dependencies change. All you have to do is build the package again and the rebuilt package will pick up the updated libGLEW automatically.

See if there is any confusion about this: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/WZIPSAMAUEZZQGSH5HSEQDQGH6552WUD/

Manjaro just released new updates and now BZflag won't start because a newer version of libGLEW.so.2.2 got installed. How do I fix this or is there an update on your end to be made?

find /usr/lib -iname "libGLEW*"
/usr/lib/libGLEW.so /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.2.3 /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.2.3.1

Thanks

@strec in the future, please flag the package as out of date. It wasn't flagged until 2022-05-19.

When will the AUR build of BZFlag get updated? That's the only way I know how to do an update as I'm on Manjaro.

Please update to v. 2.4.24. The initial hang is fixed (per workaround according to https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/issues/301) there.

The latest version of bzflag hangs on startup screen. I've read it's some to do with latest SDL2 package that builds package. Can someone look into this? I'm on manjaro and tried endeavourOS with same results. Other people are having issue on Fedora also. Thanks
