Eddie 2.24.6 broken on Linux aarch64

[Asandler 0]

After upgrading Eddie to 2.24.6, I cannot get it work on Fedora or Ubuntu on the aarch64 platform.  Both produce the same error.
 

Error loading shared library: /tmp/mono-bundle-cULmNV/libgdiplus.so.0 libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Same now for me, did you found a solution?

I have - more or less - 0 ideas about linux
Looks like >=24.04 there is no libtinfo5 anymore, just libtinfo6
Didnt found any way, to "reinstall" the libtinfo5 for aarch64 and ubuntu 24.10.

Can someone enlighten me, please?

No, I have not come up with a workaround.  I have a lot of ideas about linux and I am drawing a blank on this one.  I have tried a few different distros and have not been able to get it to work.  Does anyone know what distro was used to build this binary?

I have the same issue after installing the latest OS on my raspberry PI 4.

The only solution I have found is to revert back to the older version.

On debian 12 aarch64/arm, this will fix the issue:
Link libtiff6 library to libtiff7 (seems to work)
 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.6 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5

When that is fixed, you will run into an issue with libgif not being installed.

sudo apt install libgif7

Then it should work.

Airvpn, please look into this, it's very simple to fix and it's making eddie arm unusable on recent debian based linux. Edited ... by kwEygq3H
typo of libtiff version

Broken on Fedora, Ubuntu, everything ARM64.

This really needs to be fixed. A Linux ARM64 build that is broken on all modern ARM64 distributions and the Raspberry Pi is not a good showing. This limits my use of AirVPN. (At least I have been able to do a workaround on a debian 12 vm and it works for now)

Confirmed on Ubuntu that the same command fixes the issue. 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.6 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5

When you try to launch after that, install any other libraries it complains about through apt. 


Fedora fix (same thing, after this fix, install any other libraries it complains about):

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.6 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.5

Using Gnome on Ubuntu VM and Cinnamon on Fedora VM.
