[h]64-bit and Library Information[/h]
Xojo and applications created with Xojo require these libraries:

  • GTK+ 2.20
  • glibc-2.11
  • libstdc++.so.6.0.13
  • libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 or libgtkhtml (for HTMLViewer)

On 64-bit Linux distributions, you will need to ensure the appropriate 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed in order to run Xojo or applications built with Xojo. One of these commands usually works for Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

Newer versions of Ubuntu may require additional steps as well:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

For more information on Multiarch support: Multiarch/HOWTO - Debian Wiki.

To determine which libraries are used by Xojo, you can use the ldd command:

ldd Xojo
