I got passed the libpng error by installing libpng12 from AUR. Now when I run ./sublime_text I get these errors: http://pastebin.com/NYWSaPSe It's strange because running "python PackageSetup.py" doesn't produce the same errors. My PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH are both correct. Using python 2.7.1 on arch.

I've just released an updated version of Sublime Text 2 that should address the Python issues, at least.

I thought arch moved to python 3 for /usr/bin/python so maybe that is causing the issue?

I'm running an up to date Archlinux distro.

thanks for taking the time to have a look!

If you manage to get it working, would you help a fellow Arch user and submit it to AUR?

Help -> About, then close Sublime 2, the About dialog still remains.
