Minecraft Pi Edition display nothing on Arch Linux ARM

Question

On Arch, running MC Pi would get an error, say it can't find the two files libpng12.so.0 and libSDL-1.2.so.0.

So, I used the following commands...

sudo pacman -S sdl
yaourt -S libpng12

...to install the libraries.

Then I got another error "failed to open vchiq instance", and I found a solution at there: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=7104&start=25

Finally, it just opened a black window: https://i.sstatic.net/7Tf6F.png

I'm not sure exactly how you performed the installation process, but take a look at this tutorial (for both Raspbian and Arch Linux):

1. Start the graphical interface:

   $ startx
   

2. Download Minecraft:

   $ wget -c https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.minecraft.net/pi/minecraft-pi-0.1.1.tar.gz
   

3. Extract the archive and cd into the extracted directory:

   $ tar -zxvf minecraft-pi-0.1.1.tar.gz <br>
   $ cd mcpi
   

4. Run Minecraft on your Raspberry Pi:

   $ ./minecraft-pi
