I downloaded goneovim 0.6.8, but when I tried to run it, I got this error message: .local/bin/goneovim-v0.6.8-linux/goneovim: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This so file is not in the ubuntu package repository for 23.10 (mantic), and it appears was only available as recently as 22.04.

Hi :) Thanks for the information. I will upgrade to a new build environment soon. As a work-around, the following is a way to place a symbolic link to a compatible library.

ln -s /path/to/libtiff.so.X.Y.Z /path/to/libtiff.so.5

Thanks for your support! I added a link to libtiff.so.6, and it appears to be working now.
