[SOLVED] Problem with latest VLC LAN under 3.2.2 64bit Porteus.

Post#1 by **wii07** » 23 May 2018, 15:53

Maybe someone can help me. Today i wanted to upgrade to the latest stable VLC LAN, its Version 3.0.2 64 and i got it from here:

When i am trying to start it nothing happens, the terminal says the following:

"vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libidn.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory!"

Any Idea what to do? VLC LAN Version 2.2.6 is running fine.

I have no 3.2.2 installation running anymore, but you should search via USM for "libidn" and try one of the packages offered there.

@wii07, you can try to download the missing lib from here: https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackwa ... 2.txz.html
