I'm currently running Arch Linux, and I've installed spring and springlobby from the official repositories, but when I start springlobby I cannot play online, as it gives me the error:

Couldn't Get Your Spring Versions From Any Unitsync Library

How do I fix this?

1) fire this into console:
$ locate unitsync.so
2) it will return something like:
/usr/lib/spring/libunitsync.so
3) then, in springlobby settings, put the line it returned as your unitsync location.
4) ???
5) PROFIT!

If locate doesn't succeed, then you're out of luck, and questions emerge about quality of archlinux' packaging; best bet is to compile spring yourself then.

This worked perfectly thanks.

I will admit that packaging quality gets a little off, as they're supported by the community.

yay another Arch user
btw, the springlobby from repositories eats like 500mb and 100%cpu when started, don't you have the same problem? I had to switch to notalobby because of that

I'm not experiencing that, although it does eat quite a bit of memory and CPU :|

if you get:
bash: locate: command not found
at step one. you can type:
sudo find / -name libunitsync.so
insted.

also, currently you need spring 91 to play and official arch repo install 93.2

To verrify your current version:
Spring -V

To install 91 version (must have been alredy installod on your OS):
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/spring-0.91.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

using locate (or find) is like using a starlight to kill fleas... it works, but.

I don't even know arch linux (nor do i bother)... but if you use a packaged spring, I'm pretty sure you can use a command to list files owned by this package. Something analogous to "dpkg -L" for debian-based distros.

This is normal for springlobby, it has always been like that.
