AppImage won't function #24

Closed MSOlsen65 closed 3 years ago

MSOlsen65 commented 3 years ago

I downloaded the AppImage. Made the file executable, however it fails to run at all on my Linux system, openSUSE 15.2

The following messages were returned at the command line:

Do you have any suggestions to overcome this issue? I would truly like to give anymeal a fair try. All reports indicate that it should well fit my needs.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, the AppImage requires a recent version of glibc. I wasn't able to get it to work on older systems. However you can build and install it from source. You just need to install the required dependencies.

I just checked with Google. openSuSE 15.2 still uses glibc version 2.26.

Thanks for your help. I didn't realize that it was so outdated. I will get things updated and try again.

Well, 15.2 is the current stable version of openSuSE. So I think your only option is to build from source.

MSOlsen65 commented 3 years ago

Yes 15.2 is the current stable "business" version (Leap). However, the rolling version (Tumbleweed) is also stable and uses glibc 2.32. I have long considered "upgrading" to tumbleweed as it better supports several of my science, mathematics, and engineering programs. Since SUSE is so far behind on this very important library, I believe it may well be time for a change. Thanks again for being so helpful. It is truly appreciated.

Ok, no problem. I didn't know about Tumbleweed. Let me know if you get stuck again.

Hello Jan,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back with you. Life went a bit nuts for several days, but all is "normal" again.

I have made the switch to Tumbleweed and your AppImage worked flawlessly. Still checking it out, but so far, it is definitely one of the better one I've tried. You did a wonderful job. Thanks again for helping me get started.

No worries. Hope everything is ok. Thanks for reporting back. Glad it works on Tumbleweed. Hope the software is useful to you. Thanks for closing the issue.
