If you encounter errors similar to error [...] loading shared libraries, you most likely need to rebuilt the grive package. Usually no further action is needed except for forcing a rebuilt.

The error is due to grive having been built against an older version of the library mentioned in the error message. The library has likely since been updated by pacman and grive need to be made aware of this by rebuilding it.

I also saw the error on two if my arch installations:

grive: error while loading shared libraries: libjson-c.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Updated my computers, reinstalled json-c, rebooted, and rebuild grive from git and all is well in the world again

After getting the error about libjson-c.so.4 missing, I tried to reinstall the package with yay and then tried again with a clean build and got this error:

error: cannot convert ‘bfd’ to ‘const asection’ {aka ‘const bfd_section*’}
127 | bfd_size_type size = bfd_section_size(abfd, section);

@Hemular

When trying to clean-build the package I get the error encountered by @pmatts.

I switched to using grive-git and it does build successfully and runs without error.

@coxackie @sadid @thehungryturnip and anyone else experiencing the libjson-c.so.4 error, update your system, reboot and rebuild grive. It should grab the correct libjson-c.so automatically

+1 to the error experienced by @coxackie and @sadid

I am getting similar error as @sadid

I get this when try to run grive:

grive: error while loading shared libraries: libjson-c.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The system libjson is libjson-c.so.5. It probably can be solved with a symlink but it better to be handle in the build.

@pmatts & @electra

use git, as the maintainer suggested.... it works
