Some OS's use libudev.so.1 and not libudev.so.0

[JBKahn]

The proposed solution worked for me. Perhaps an addition to the README if you're interested in adding that.

Otherwise it just gave me this message when I went to run it

./resources/node-webkit/Linux64/nw: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Awesome! thanks.

I've changed the install procedure. @JBKahn If you don't mind can you try

npm install slack-for-linux -g

slack-for-linux

and see if you get the same issue?

Thanks

Just had an exam today, I'll give it a shot tomorrow night.

I ran into the same issue and using the npm install didn't work. I ended up copying libudev.so.1 to libudev.so.0 and it works fine.

OK thanks. I'll look into the underlying grunt builder and see if we can
check for the existence of 0 or 1 and properly link the shared object.

Until there is an official fix in node-webkit, I think we should add some logic to the install script to check for the existence of the proper lib.

See #16
