Ubuntu – error while loading shared libraries: libzip.so.2

shared library

I am trying to run an app and I am getting this error in a fresh installation of Ubuntu in VMWARE

./futurerestore_linux: error while loading shared libraries: libzip.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had an similar error earlier today and looks like I had to create a link.

However I do see libzip.so.2 in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu when I did dir in this directory, so unsure what I need to do to get this working. Interesting part is, I don't see it as a package

You have to install libzip.

Maybe try the command:

sudo apt install libzip4

Also I had to install libcurl to get the program to work.

sudo apt install libcurl3

Looks like you're missing a library file. The program apt-file can be used to find which package provides a certain file. (dpkg -S does this too, but does not work for packages which are not installed)

apt-file search libXss.so yields:

ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libXss.so
ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libXss.so.1
ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libXss.so.1.0.0
libxss-dev: /usr/lib/libXss.so
libxss1: /usr/lib/libXss.so.1
libxss1: /usr/lib/libXss.so.1.0.0
libxss1-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libXss.so.1.0.0

You need to install the libxss1 package for that library. If you're running the 32-bit version of Skype, ia32-libs needs to be installed instead of libxss1.

Ubuntu – Shared libSDL library fails to open

Is this a 32 bits or a 64 bits binary ? ( you can check with file ./Mtg ).

If this is a 32 bits binary, then you need the 32 bits version of libSDL, as you seems to be running x86_64.
