I plan to look at this package sometime this week or weekend.

I tried whisper.cpp a week ago and it was okay

Now it's

whisper.cpp: error while loading shared libraries: libggml.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@BEST8OY Are you using version 1.7.1-2? The plain cpu version works on my computer. I have not tried any of the others. No package provides libggml.so. Don't know why it would be needed.

Correction, I was running the wrong binary. Able to reproduce the error. Will look into it.

@xiota
I installed libggml-git from AUR.

aur/libggml-git has some problems. The most serious is that it detects and uses CPU features on the build machine, which will cause the resulting binaries to throw illegal instruction errors on users' machines. The following changes would be needed. Otherwise, it would have to be rewritten and added as a custom package.

• Remove CPU detection and build for baseline x86-64.
• Use standard pkgver format, as described in VCS package guidelines.
• Use cmake to call build and install commands. Don't call make directly.

llama.cpp and whisper.cpp also do not declare the dependency. They would need to be adjusted with interferes.

Interfere added to whisper.cpp in 902f713, 2728a86. Interfere for llama.cpp pending.
