[Cin] Unable to launch cin on Arch

[Phyllis Smith]

Thank you for checking that as I was not sure.
As mentioned earlier Andrea Paz builds, uses and updates Arch all of the
time.  I have sent this email directly to him and am waiting a reply.
There must be something he has installed that is missing.  Unfortunately, I
do not have the latest Arch installed but I will boot my old one and see if
I get the same error when building.
