Exception starting airvpn on RHEL 6.6

[edobrez 3]

launching the portable client on RHEL 6.6 I get this exception,

however the .so file is present in the same directory as the airvpn executable

 

any ideas ?

I tested that airvpn works on a Centos 7 system that has no mono packages installed

 

 

[ airvpn_linux_x64_portable]$ ls 

airvpn  libgdiplus.so.0  libMonoPosixHelper.so  openvpn  stunnel  update-resolv-conf

 

[ airvpn_linux_x64_portable]$ sudo ./airvpn

I get the same error for the portable version on CentOS 6.6. The good news: the rpm version works and pulls in all dependencies (EPEL repos have to be enabled!).

After installing the rpm, I tried the portable version again to see a different error message:

symbol lookup error: ./libgdiplus.so.0: undefined symbol: g_mutex_lock

 

Bummer, but at least the rpm version works.

I don't know whether you already tried the rpm (or whether that's an option for you) but if it works on CentOS 6.6 it should also work on RHEL.

Thanks,

I could verify it works although I'd rather have avoided pulling in packages and would have preferred the stanadalone version

(which worked flawlessly on centos7).
