We install them with regular packages, since arch users almost always are compiling,
developing etc we just include them. While it takes more space it saves alot of work.
Sorry for the top post

 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?
