MangoHud: MANGOHUD: XNVCtrl failed to load

After trying compiling the develop branch myself and using https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud/issues/3#issuecomment-602748292, this error always pops up. I’m on arch and have libxnvctrl installed. I’m also pretty sure the library is working properly since nvidia-settings is displaying everything fine.

Here’s the output with vkcube:

$ mangohud vkcube
skipping config: /usr/bin/MangoHud.conf [ not found ]
parsing config: /home/mary/.config/MangoHud/vkcube.conf [ ok ]
MANGOHUD: XNVCtrl failed to load

Problem with XNVCtrl, at least on Ubuntu is simple: by default it looking for libXNVCtrl.so which is absent under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. Don’t know about other distros, but in that folder 2 files: libXNVCtrl.so.0 which refers to libXNVCtrl.so.0.0.0. To resolve problem I simply copy libXNVCtrl.so.0.0.0 with a name libXNVCtrl.so.
