I’ve seen a few people having issues with zig on arch linux. Where did you install zig from ? official repos, AUR or from zig’s site ? Do you see a difference when installing from different sources ?

i downloaded zig from office zig website. I haven’t tried with other zig sources(AUR, etc).

4

is there any solution?

Zig has an issue with atomic renames on your file system, you can workaround the issue by finding and manually renaming the broken file in the .zig-cache, see also https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/31960
