Linux information

Because various Linux distributions provide different libraries installed by default, you may need to install additional libraries installed before your Xojo apps will run on Linux. At a minimum, Xojo requires these Linux libraries:

Always Required

Required for Desktop

Optional

glib 2.0

GTK+ 2.20

libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 or libgtkhtml (HTMLViewer)

glibc-2.11

libsoup 2.4 (Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket)

libstdc++.so.6.0.13

libicu 4.2+

If you're looking for a specific version and distribution, check out [http://mirrors.kernel.org mirrors.kernel.org].

64-bit configuration

Xojo currently creates 32-bit Linux apps. For easiest installation, you should use a 32-bit Linux distribution. If you want to run your Xojo apps on a 64-bit Linux distribution, you will need to ensure that the necessary 32-bit libraries are installed. Most 64-bit Linux distributions do not install any 32-bit libraries by default, so you'll have to install them manually. Below are some commands that might help you install the necessary libraries:

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint

CentOS/Fedora/OpenSUSE

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

sudo yum install ia32-libs sudo yum install ia32-libs-multiarch

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

sudo yum install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686

sudo apt-get install libicu52:i386 sudo apt-get install libicu52

sudo yum provides missinglibrarypathorname

sudo yum install packagenamewithlibrary

 Ubuntu 14+:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libicu52:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386

/usr/bin/yum -y install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

yum install libicu.i686

If you are still having trouble identifying necessary libraries, the ldd command might help. You can run from Terminal in the Xojo directory to return a list of libraries required by Xojo and their status on the system:

ldd Xojo
