Cannot open APP in Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit

What happens if you try form the command line? Unfortunately I do not have APP installed on Linux (only on a MacBook) so I don't know the correct command. But from the command line you should hopefully get a message explaining why APP fails to start.

If it installed correctly it lives under /opt/AstroPixelProcessor

cd /opt/AstroPixelProcessor

./AstroPixelProcessor

Does that launch?

OK.this is what I get.
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./AstroPixelProcessor)

I am upgrading now so maybe that will solve the problem.

Do you have libstdc++ 6 installed? If not - something like this?

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

?

@itarchitectkev

It's already installed but I'm doing an upgrade so hopefully....

Nope. 🙁

Now I get this:
relocation error: ./AstroPixelProcessor: symbol _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEC1Ev, version GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not defined in file libstdc++.so.6 with link time reference

It's about time I upgraded to 18 or 19, so maybe I;'l try that next...

Yes, APP is written in and runs on Java and unfortunately Java has a dependency on certain system libraries to be in certain versions. In short, upgrading to a newer version of Linux Mint probably is the only way forward.

Thanks for the prompt replies.  I have now upgraded to Linux Mint 19 and it works fine. 🙂
