opt/lampp/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I use Arch Linux (x86_64)

I updated my repositories today with the following command

Sudo Packman -Syu

But the xampp program no longer runs

Stopping all servers...
Restarting all servers...
Starting MySQL Database...

Starting Apache Web Server...
Exit code: 8
Stdout:
apache config test fails, aborting
Stderr:

/opt/lampp/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Starting ProFTPD...
Exit code: 8
Stdout:
proftpd config test fails, aborting
Stderr:

/opt/lampp/sbin/proftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After a bit of checking I found that the libcrypt.so.1 file exists

Output the command locate libcrypt.so.1

[ahmadreza@ahmadreza-sys ~]$ locate libcrypt.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1

The version of the files is as follows:

[root@ahmadreza-sys lib]# file libcrypto.so.1*
libcrypto.so.1.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=4c926b672d97886b123e03a008387aecf0786de4, stripped
[root@ahmadreza-sys lib]# 

output command sudo ldconfig -v | grep libcrypt

[ahmadreza@ahmadreza-sys ~]$ sudo ldconfig -v | grep libcrypt

[ahmadreza@ahmadreza-sys ~]$ 

cammand outout file /opt/lampp/bin/httpd

[ahmadreza@ahmadreza-sys ~]$ file /opt/lampp/bin/httpd

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I had the same error, solved by installing this package "libxcrypt-compat". It is not in pacman, install via AUR.

yay -S libxcrypt-compat

Answer 2

libxcrypt-compat is no longer in the AUR, it has become a split package as of 24 Feb 2022.

This is what you'll need now, from the AUR:

yay -Syu lib32-libxcrypt-compact

Answer 3

after 24th february libxcrypt-compat became available in arch linux core, so it can be installed using pacman

sudo pacman -Syu libxcrypt-compat

This same package has libxcrypt as a dependency, which is also in the arch core repository.
