geany "Could not load libvte.so, embedded terminal support disabled"

GNUser:
I'd very much like to use geany's embedded terminal, but can't make it work:

--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wi geany vte
...all goes well...

$ geany -v
Geany-INFO: 17:07:38.808: Geany 1.24.1, en_US.UTF-8
Geany-INFO: 17:07:38.808: GTK 3.24.13, GLib 2.64.0
...
Geany-INFO: 17:07:39.189: Could not load libvte.so, embedded terminal support disabled
--- End code ---

vte.tcz seems to be properly loaded:

--- Code: ---$ ls /usr/local/lib | grep vte
libvte-2.91.so
libvte-2.91.so.0
libvte-2.91.so.0.6000.0
vte-2.91/
--- End code ---

Can you please help me troubleshoot? I'm on Pure64 11.1.

GNUser:
I tried this already, but it doesn't help:

--- Code: ---$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvte-2.91.so.0.6000.0 /usr/local/lib/libvte.so
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvte-2.91.so.0.6000.0 /usr/local/lib/libvte9.so

--- End code ---

GNUser:
I loaded vte-dev.tcz and compiled latest geany release (1.36) and now virtual terminal works.

However, I end up with a bigger problem: When I try to open a file from within geany (via File -> Open or by pressing on the "open" icon), the file selection box shows only directories and no files at all. Choosing "show hidden files" makes no difference.

Has anyone ever encountered this issue?

Hi GNUser
I'm on TC10 x86 and get this:

After installing vte.tcz I got this:

After that a terminal was available in the message box.

Did you try using:

--- Code: -----vte-lib
--- End code ---
as mentioned here:

GNUser:
Interesting that it works in TC10 x86 but not in TC11 x86_64.

I missed --vte-lib, thanks for finding it. Alas, it didn't help:

It seems that the vte API is a messy moving target: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/336

Oh, well.
