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:
http://slackware.uk/people/alien/restri ... 4/current/
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

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with latest VLC LAN under 3.2.2 64bit Porteus.
Hi, I realize that this thread is a bit old but I am bumping into the same problem now.
I downloaded VLC from: http://slackware.uk/people/alien/restri ... 4/current/
the package: vlc-3.0.4-x86_64-1alien.txz
Converted to xzm and activated successfully. When I try to run it I get the same result and message as the OP.
Following the link suggested here I download 'libidn-1.34-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz', convert to xzm. activate, and still get libidn.so.12 => not found.
If I extract the xzm module and look into the file contained there I see
It contains libidn.so.11 rather than 12...
USM currently has 5 different files listed when I search for 'libidn'
If I search for libidn.so.12 directly I get:
So, I am stuck. The thread ends by saying it is working but I wasn't clear on what was done to fix it.
Perhaps I should have downloaded a different version of VLC in the first place?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you searching for a library file?
libidn.so.12, it seems a library.
Would you like to find the package for it? [y/n]
no package found for: libidn.so.12

Wow, perfect. That file does have libidn.so.12.
After I got the file that I needed I went to the Parent Directory on that page to look around. What a fantastic resource.
I've been away from Linux for about 10 years but am now reconstructing my 'knowledge base'.
Things like this are a great help.
Tks.
