Suggest additional package requirement on fedora. #654

Open iamashwin99 opened 4 months ago

iamashwin99 commented 4 months ago

I had to install libxcrypt-compat on my fedora system to be able to run the appimage. Otherwise, I got the following error:

❯ ./NormCap-0.5.8-x86_64.appimage 
/tmp/.mount_NormCac2yO0e/usr/python/bin/python3: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Should we maybe add libxcrypt-compat to the list of suggested packages for fedora? Is there a reason why it should work without it?

Thanks for your comment, @iamashwin99 .

This is a known issue and documented in this FAQ.

But it might be worth considering to put that info somewhere more prominently...

The AppImage currently can be downloaded from Github Releases, the README and the NormCap Website.

Any thoughts on where/how the information can be placed, without distracting the unaffected users too much?

Sorry! I missed it. How about something like https://github.com/dynobo/normcap/pull/655 ?
