zathura 0.5.2
girara 0.3.7 (runtime: 0.3.9)
(plugin) pdf-mupdf (0.4.0) (/usr/lib/zathura/libpdf-mupdf.so)
I'm using ArchLinux and Zathura-develop. However, Zathura of develop branch requires libjpeg9 to render jpeg in PDF correctly. When I open a PDF file with zathura in terminal , all JPG pictures are rendered black and zathura says:

The latest libjpeg package in archlinux is libjpeg8, so I uninstalled libjpeg8 and installed libjpeg9 manually. But somehow zathura needs exactly "libjpeg.so.8" to launch:
$ zathura
zathura: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I linked libjpeg.so.8 to libjpeg.so.9 manually. But zathura throwed error again:
$ zathura
zathura: /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8: version `LIBJPEG_8.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0)
zathura: /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8: version `LIBJPEG_8.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libtiff.so.6)
Now I have no ideas how to fix it. I wonder whether it's my fault of configuring zathura incorrectly or it's something wrong in zathura's shared-library management.
After searching through the Internet, I found similar problems had been discussed in archlinux forums long ago: zathura jpeg library error after update and FS#34590 - [mupdf] mupdf-1.2 is building with the wrong libjpeg header
As discussed above, the libjpeg header which mupdf builds with sets the libjpeg version to 90; while the libjpeg library(libjpeg-turbo) which archlinux ships only support version 80.
Finally I choose to simply install zathura-git and zathura-pdf-mupdf-git from AUR. These packages have solved the problem properly and fit for archlinux. Since it's somewhat a "BUG" of zathura exactly on archlinux, it's better to install it by AUR packages instead of by source.
