When I open krita, I get this message. "Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kritapart.so: (libGLEW.so.1.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)". What should I do?

sounds like the libGLEW1_9 (at least what it's called in openSUSE) package is not installed, check you package manager for a package of that or a similar name and install it

I already have glew installed on my system and it is the latest version. I'm using Arch Linux.

as best as I can tell (and I don't do Arch) the latest glew package is 1.10.0-1 and your error is that Krita is calling 1.9 and it can't be found so it sounds Krita and glew are out of sync. You need to find and install a Krita that uses glew 1.10 or downgrade glew to 1.9

Alternately, if your version of Krita is self-compiled, then recompiling Krita should lead to it either omitting the GLEW specific functionality - or using GLEW 1.10 instead.
