FoxitReader fails to start due to missing libxml2.so.2:

$ foxitreader
/usr/lib/foxitreader/FoxitReader: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This happens because Arch only provides libxml2.so.16 now. To fix:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2

NOTE: Not a long-term fix — this may break after libxml2 updates. You can check the current version with:

$ ls /usr/lib/libxml2.so*

This now needs libxml2-legacy package, otherwise:

/usr/lib/foxitreader/FoxitReader: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@eric-dev do you have some official link where to download a more up-to date version of foxit reader? The official website download form seems broken and doesn't offer any other downloadable version

the Linux supports seems to be dropped

@danielkrajnik the issue is unrelated to foxitreader package, as previously indicated in past comments

The gstreamer0.10-base page has a patch for fixing the package

@3xploiton3 @carlosnewmusic

the gstreamer0.10 errors must be reported to the gstreamer0.10 package maintainers.
