amd vivado "generating installed device list" error (lemmy.zip)

Hi everyone, I'm trying to install vivado (2025.2) on my recent install of arch Linux. I've seen this error occur in a lot of Linux distros, and usually it was resolved by installing libncurses and other packages ( which i did successfully do on fedora and other distros). That said, with arch it seems these packages aren't available since it cannot be found by the package manager.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what dependencies are needed, if there are alternatives, to get vivado to work on arch.

The arch wiki has a bunch of information about the installation process, or you can check out This aur package to see a dependency list/jump through the hoops to install it as an aur package with managed dependencies.

Thanks, I did find a bullet point later in the wiki if you get "generate installed devices" error. I installed the ncurses5-compat-libs package and it works.

Thanks again for your help
