Normally it is forgetting to install the devel package. Or it may be looking for the 32bit version of xscreensaver, which means it would need adjusted to check for 64bit. You probably know this, but 64bit libs tend to go into lib64 instead of lib, so that might be where it fails because some stuff have it hardcoded to assume 32bit libs. Of course, I couldn't understand the code very well, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

All of those assumptions here are wrong for arch :) we don't have devel packages and we don't have a lib64
I haven't seen a distro not have lib64, but I haven't used Arch either (except for the time when I tried it and couldn't find something like dhclient or dhcpcd to get online, didn't have 64bit then). I also haven't seen a distro without dev or devel packages either -- unless you guys are installing the devel headers with the main packages (not necessary for people who aren't compiling software), I'd think you have to put them somewhere?
