Unable to get Jami working on Arch Linux

I'm trying to get Jami working on Arch Linux. I will explain the different scenarios I have tried below:

  1. Installed the official jami-daemon & jami-qt packages using pacman. When I run Jami here, it starts up but then I get a Segmentation fault (core dumped) when trying to create an account within the app.

  2. Installed the Arch User Repo (AUR) package called jami-all-bin. When I try to run Jami here, the system tells me I do not have a specific library available. I have looked around and the library provided by Arch is newer than what the pkg is asking for. I then changed that PKGBUILD and tried using different .deb files (Deb 11, Deb 10, Ubuntu 22.04, etc) and they all had different library requirements -- this AUR pkg is pulling the binary from the .deb file and then installing it on the system.

If I could better understand what needs to happen, then I believe I may be able to create a source based Arch package that work. Please help me out as I'd like to try out Jami and not being able to get it working is frustrating. Thanks.
