Cannot launch Dwarf Fortress on Arch

[Victoriam7]

I installed the Arch package version and I am able to get the pack to run as well as the various utilities; however, Dwarf Fortress itself immediately exits when I click play. When I exit the pack, the following is output on the terminal.

Also, when running the terminal test, the following error is observed

['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', '  File "/tmp/lnp-FfXSIW/./launch.py", line 12, in <module>\n    lnp.PyLNP()\n', '  File "/tmp/lnp-FfXSIW/core/lnp.py", line 113, in __init__\n    self.initialize_program()\n', '  File "/tmp/lnp-FfXSIW/core/lnp.py", line 193, in initialize_program\n    sys.exit(terminal.terminal_test_parent(\n', 'SystemExit: 0\n']

I have tried both xterm and st as terminals. Any idea what could be causing the issue?

Could you try this:

• edit /opt/linux-dwarf-pack/startlnp.sh
• edit the last line like this (notice the "-d -d"):
  ./launch.py -d -d || echo "Failed to start PyLNP" >&2
• start again from a terminal:
  $ /opt/linux-dwarf-pack/linux-dwarf-pack.sh

It looks like there are missing files. I tried reinstalling to see if something got deleted by accident with no luck

Does the log stop here? What does it become when you click "start DF"?

[Victoriam7]

Sorry, I thought I had clicked the start button for the above output. Clicking the start button yields the following...

I have tried with both st and xterm with the same result. Dwarf fortress, independent of the launcher, works on both.

I tried running dfhack on its own and ran into a missing library error which I solved by installing GTK2. Apparently GTK3 is missing a required library.

[McArcady]

And what was the library?
We could declare it as a dependency of the package

[Victoriam7]

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

Also, thanks for the help with fixing this
