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+

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
