Same issue for me, I am on Arch with Gnome. This seems to be the issue: #130

libldap on Arch Linux is now on 2.6. So I am getting this error now too.

Linux user here, paid licenses, love your work

After Pop OS update getting

tableplus: error while loading shared libraries: libldap_r-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any advice? @huyphams

I use this to connect to 50+ different database instances and now it flat out doesn't work

I think there are better ways to distribute linux binaries nowadays to avoid these kind of problems @huyphams

Flatpak: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/basic-concepts.html " [...] This means that they provide a stable, cross-distribution base for applications, and allow applications to continue to work irrespective of operating system updates."

I use multiple cross-platform Flatpak (pay) apps on Linux: phpstorm, smartgit

Here is a list of popular apps that use Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/collection/popular
