Installation on Ubuntu

[jsavage]

Downloaded Release 3 onto Ubuntu 13.10. Extracted to a new folder on my desktop. Nothing appeared to happen when I attempt to run nw. execute permission checked - already set. Opened terminal and executed ./nw on the command line.

./nw: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Let's see if I can find it

locate libudev.so.0 #turns nothing up

Libudev1 is already installed. Installed libudev-dev. No change.

Now out of ideas:-)

There are some known issues with node-webkit in this area:

Does that help?

[jsavage]

Yes thanks. I was lazy and chose a variant of the 'leet' method. Effectively just changing one bit within the executable from 0 to 1. Took me back to my BBC programming days.

Hardest part was working out how to get ghex to play ball. There must be a more usable hexeditor out there.

Having saved it as nw2, I then needed to make it executable with chmod +X nw2 and it then executed as advertised. Let me know if you would like a copy of the working binary?

Thanks @jsavage. Until node-webkit fixes this, I guess the best we can do is to add clearer instructions to the readme, if you fancy having a go at a pull request?

No probs

I had the same issue in Xubuntu 15.04 and creating a symbolic link worked for me.

sudo ln -sf /lib/$(arch)-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/$(arch)-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0

Is there anything else to be done about this issue? Indeed, does it still occur with the latest release?

Just tried on 16.04, problem is still there.

Still happens (on Debian Jessie). The hex editor thing doesn't work for me (although I could have easily done it wrong) and I tried creating symlinks for a while but ran out of patience before it ran out of errors.
