Quick fix for a while:

sudo ln /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 then try run rdrview

but it doesn't help with building errors.

The tool "rdrview" stoped working as of 2025-05-02 .

$ rdrview 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_wide_web'

rdrview: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This PKGBUILD "rdrview-git" also doesnt build as of 2025-05-02 ,

src/rdrview.c: In function ‘save_node_to_file’:
src/rdrview.c:507:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘xmlShellPrintNode’; did you mean ‘xmlChildrenNode’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

I am speculating here. Maybe it is related to the recent Archlinux official package "libxml2" update from 2.13 to 2.14 ???

yay -Si rdrview-git

I saw a lot of official Archlinux packages being rebuilt just because they depended "libxml2"

pacman -Si libxml2

Name            : libxml2
Version         : 2.14.2-2
Provides        : libxml2.so=16-64

pacman -Ql libxml2

....
libxml2 /usr/lib/libxml2.so
libxml2 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16
libxml2 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16.0.2
....

locate libxml2.so

/usr/lib/libxml2.so
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.16
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.16.0.2

So there is no "libxml2.so.2" in a recent "libmxl2". Notice the .2 at the end. Could it be somewhere else ?

pacman -F libxml2.so.2

extra/libxml2-legacy 2.13.8-1
    usr/lib/libxml2-legacy/lib/libxml2.so.2
    usr/lib/libxml2.so.2

Seems it moved into this "legacy" one ?

I opened an issue here, https://github.com/eafer/rdrview/issues/45

@parkerlreed, thanks for adopting this very usefull package.

As you can see in the github issues page, it also builds and runs fine on other architectures than x64. I myself run it on raspberry pi, arm.

So please update the PKGBUILD, change:

    arch=('x86_64')

to either 'any' or ('x86_64' 'aarch64' 'armv6h' 'armv7h')

Adopted and updated. Patch was no longer required.

Patch no longer applies

I think that's what they were pointing out.

Dear g2g. The PKGBUILD you give is the exact same as the current version here on the AUR except you did a rebuild which bumped the version number. Let me know if I missed anything. Cheers.
