Can't use Appimage file V4.1 with Fedora 39 because of missing library.

[Tuxman2]

What happened?

Hello,

I tried to launch the v4.1 appimage version under Fedora 39. The problem is the 4.1 appimage version use libtiff 4.5.0 or libtiff 4.6.0 version (need libtiff.so.6). Fedora 39 use libtiff 4.4.0 version (libtiff.so.5 or libtiff.so.5.8.0). Via terminal, I launched the appimage file and I received the following warning message : "Failed to load shared library 'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0' referenced by the typelib: libtiff.so.6 : cannot open shared object file : no such file or directory." libtiff 4.5.0 is available for Fedora 40 or rawhide but not for Fedora 39. It seems that libtiff 4.5.0 and libtiff 4.6.0 have libtiff.so.6 file.

Expected behavior

Be able to launch V4.1 version of appimage under Fedora 39.

4 out of 14 currently open issues are bug reports about the AppImage not launching. The AppImage build system/scripts need a complete revamp.

Ok. I have some problem with the flatpack version, so I installed manually gdm-setting from source. But I prefer an appimage version.

When do you think a good appimage version will be available ?

Thanks.

Probably not soon. I have opened a new issue to track revamped AppImage support. You can subscribe to it if you want to get notified when the revamped AppImage support is added.
