@Basher52 This package is currently not usable in Arch Linux unless someone is willing to downgrade gsl to 2.5.
Trying to link gls 2.7 libraries to the 2.5 xsnow-bin expects doesn't work.
Compiling xsnow from scratch works for me.

zomgugoff is correct, tried this again and I get the same error. It can't find libgsl.so.25 Also tried 'xsnow' (not the bin) it compiles and all but same error when running it.

'gsl-config --version' says 2.7.1

Didn't try the linking of libgsl.so.27 to libgsl.so.25 tho

Xsnow is unable to run due to libGSL version: xsnow: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Current gsl package is 2.7.1-1 and linking libgsl.so.27 to libgsl.so.25 results in: xsnow: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgsl.so.25: undefined symbol: cblas_ctrmv

I have same problem - Cannot create transparent window - and nothing displayed - under Xfce.

Using xsnow-wv I have the same problems as before :( Maybe it may be because I'm using latte dock

I am unable to reproduce your issues, however I managed to find some time to create a PKGBUILD that actually builds from sources and got it accepted as the xsnow package.
You could try that and see if your errors persist.

@AlphaJack

here is the outout runniong xsnow:

Xsnow running in GTK version: 3.24.30 xsnow 3.4.2 December 14th 2001 by Rick Jansen December 2021 by Willem Vermin Using transparent window Snowing in 0x6a00003: xsnow 0+32 1920x1048

and this is the output of ldd /usr/bin/xsnow: linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe7534f000) So it looks like somth is missing.I checked but did not find a solution.

I think it was a bug with 3.4.1, tonight I have updated to 3.4.2 and it started working again (Arch Linux with KDE Plasma)

I installed as usual but this year xsnow wont' show anything on the desktop (archlinux with gnome shell latest). Any clue?

thanks
