Getting error "phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.61: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", because system updated to libicui18n.so.62. However, dependencies list icu equal or greater 61. How can I get phantomjs to work again?

@yan12125: I copied the icu59.patch into the same folder with PKGBUILD and rebuilt phantomjs. After some time it has finished without error and I could install the generated .xz package with pacman. I think it's OK now. Thanks!

@karcher: Of course icu59.patch is needed to build phantomjs. You can find that file from the git repo of this package - https://aur.archlinux.org/phantomjs.git.

"TL;DR - sudo pacman -S devtools and run extra-x86_64-build in the folder containing PKGBUILD. This command creates the installable pkg.tar.xz file. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot for detailed explanations."

I tried the way you mentioned following the Arch Wiki as well as with clean-chroot-manager. Both of them result in the same same error (icu59.patch):

Is there a way to find out which packages are interfering?

No quick and simple way AFAIK. I used to diagnose such issues case-by-case, and finally I got tired and stick to clean chroot builds.

How can I do it? Please give some directions.

TL;DR - sudo pacman -S devtools and run extra-x86_64-build in the folder containing PKGBUILD. This command creates the installable pkg.tar.xz file.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot for detailed explanations.

"Either some packages on your machine interferes with the build (likely)" Is there a way to find out which packages are interfering?

"In general it's highly suggested to build phantomjs in clean chroots." How can I do it? Please give some directions.

@karcher: Just build it again on my machine with extra-x86_64-build and it works fine. Either some packages on your machine interferes with the build (likely), or there's a bug in aurman (unlikely). In general it's highly suggested to build phantomjs in clean chroots.

@yan12125: Do you mean the phantomjs folder in the AUR Helper cache?

I have namely deleted this folder and tried again. Now I'm getting this error:

karcher: most likely your phantomjs folder is not clean. Try removing it and build again.
