There is a small error in the PKGBUILD. Lines 184 and 193 are duplicated. This tries to move libc++.so.1 twice. Which leads to an error.

...
mv: cannot stat '.../davinci-resolve/src/squashfs-root/libs/libc++.so.1': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

Doesn't start for me unless I remove the following files from /opt/resolve/libs:

libglib-2.0.so*
libgio-2.0.so*
libgmodule-2.0.so*

Hi maintainer,

Here is the patch to solve issue with libs. Still a problem with icons desktop files. Need to add install instructions but I will propose a new patch later for that.

If you're not able to launch DaVinci, it's because version 18 installs with out-of-date packages. If you can't fix your issue by installing libjpeg6-turbo as well as the other required packages needed to make DaVinci run, try issuing the following commands to move those out-of-date packages from anywhere DaVinci can read them.

cd /opt/resolve/libs
sudo mkdir disabled-libraries
sudo mv libglib* disabled-libraries
sudo mv libgio* disabled-libraries
sudo mv libgmodule* disabled-libraries

I pulled these commands from H3rz3n's Fedora fix on GitHub, but skipped everything else and just decided to see whether getting rid of the libraries first would fix the issue. So far, I haven't had any issues with it running since, but I assume it still requires you to have the appropriate, up-to-date libraries installed. I'm not sure which libraries it depends on, but at the moment I've got the following installed:

• core/glib2
• extra/glibmm
• multilib/lib32-glib2

Hope this helps.

@ricwu same here, after manually installing libjpeg6-turbo davinci resolve launched

I had to manually install the extra/libjpeg6-turbo to get davinci to run, would be nice if it was automatically installed as a dependency, otherwise great work.

@Tanghe this fixed it for me: 1. download libgdk fedora's rpm : https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/38/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/g/gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.10-2.fc38.x86_64.rpm 2. Extract it : rpm2cpio ./gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.10-2.fc38.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv 3. copy the contents of the extracted usr/lib64 to resolve libs : sudo cp -r * /opt/resolve/libs/
