ACOLITE Linux: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6

Post by quinten »

If you run into the following error on Linux an extra package (libXp) may need to be installed.
error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
On Ubuntu this can be fixed by adding a new depository to your sources.list:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 
Add the following line somewhere (e.g. at the bottom of the file), and exit with Ctrl-X:

Code: Select all

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main 
Finally, update the apt database and install libXp:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libxp6
