Just built Unreal Engine 4.14 from GitHub off of the Arch User Repository (AUR). When starting up the editor I’m getting the error in this link: [https://hastebin.com/lagixacabe.md](https://hastebin.com/lagixacabe.md)

Help would be appreciated. 🙂

Hey -

The link provided doesn’t show any error information (just a blank blue screen). Can you try following the steps on this wiki page for compiling the engine on Linux:

> **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)**

> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from...

If you’re still unable to launch the editor, please copy/paste the error here directly
