[solved] Darkradiant doesn't start after python update (3.9 > 3.10)

[datiswous]

After a system update, where python 3.9 got updated to 3.10, I get an error with startup of DR:

Error opening library: libpython3.9.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error opening library: libgit2.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Aborted (core dumped)

So I cannot start it anymore. If I would currently rebuild DR from source, would that help? I think I currently revert the update, but maybe not forever.

Yes, I'm pretty confident that recompiling DR will fix this. Did you compile from source before or did you install it from a package?

[datiswous]

No I compiled before. I use an Arch based distro (Manjaro) and there's no package for DR.

Yep, when building from source you're linking the DR binaries against specific libraries that were present on your system at that time. They become dependencies - removing them will cause the DR binaries to no longer work. Just re-build and you should be fine.

Thanks, it's working again after rebuild.
