What distribution are you using? It works fine here for me on Ubuntu 22.04.

Have you verified that all the links in the ./lib subdirectory have been correctly preserved after unzipping?

Debian 12.1 Bookworm x86_64.

Apparently uncompressing was the issue. I had this exact error trying to open the MatLab R2023b install script with a different library after uncompressing it with Ark. Using unzip instead preserves the files properly. Yet under the lib folder when uncompressed with Ark all files are there and all have the correct size. But these files are not valid unless extracted using unzip

Yes, I noticed before when unzipping with certain applications the links are not properly preserved. Glad you figure it out.
