Description

When trying to load core RetroArch gives

[ERROR] Failed to open libretro core: .../.var/app/org.libretro.RetroArch/config/retroarch/cores/ppsspp_libretro.so"
[ERROR] Error(s): libsnappy.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Of course snappy package is installed and libsnappy.so.1 is there

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Install RetroArch with flatpak
  2. Download ppsspp core
  3. Try to run any game with ppsspp core

Mind creating an issue over at https://github.com/flathub/org.libretro.RetroArch ?

You're unable to open the PPSSPP core. We'll need to add libsnappy to the FlatHub install.

Here is a better solution.

git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/
cd RetroArch
./configure && make && ./retroarch

Made an issue over at https://github.com/flathub/org.libretro.RetroArch/issues/32 .... Feel free to close this one.
