Difficulty Installing on Ubuntu 18.04

Open cedricedmonds opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Gyrptonite seems the most flexible password managers around with multiple key-value pairs. I have it installed on windows but also need it on linux (most important). It installs but does not run. It can't seem to find libstdc++.so.6 and yet it is there and in the library path. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

I'm really glad you like it! :)

My advice would be to try building it from source, if the installer doesn't work. I am no longer maintaining this application now that I work in big tech, otherwise I would investigate the installer issues. My best guess about what's happening, without having looked into any of it, is that the installer bits have rotted and the new version of Ubuntu uses an incompatible version of libstdc++. This is a tricky part about releasing applications that work cross-platform - it's tough to make and maintain installers for every single platform. However, the source code should still be good, although it may take some doing to get it to build.

FWIW the build document describes how it can be built from source, if you're savvy enough to do it on your own: https://github.com/karagog/Gryptonite/blob/master/BUILD
