Running Doom Emacs 3.0.0-alpha on Emacs 28.1 on Manajaro with all the latest updates installed.
When I M-x pdf-tools-install RET
it fails to compile. The following is the output of the command:

I looked for but could not find any poppler-private package.
How do I install pdf-tools?
libpoppler-private-dev
, I guess. What OS are you using?libpoppler-private
was removed frompdf-tools
16 days ago. I suggest installing an updatedpdf-tools
from melpa or straight (you see what I did there?) from github.com/vedang/pdf-toolspdf
module? See also this file: ```~/.emacs.d/modules/tools/pdf/README.org, to know what to expect in this installation.pdf
module was installed. I removed and reinstalled it. And I had gone through that file. But nothing there helped me. Am I missing something?
