MachinekitClient fails to start

[bschousek]

Trying to run the Machinekit Client from an Arch Linux system yields errors:

~/Downloads/MachinekitClient_Development-201705181342-master-fcc665f-x64.AppImage -d

libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Unrecognized OpenGL version
Unrecognized OpenGL version

Googling those errors led to https://askubuntu.com/questions/635851/error-in-installing-steam-on-ubuntu-15-04 which led me to trying to force a particular version of libstdc++ as follows:

LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' ~/Downloads/MachinekitClient_Development-201705181342-master-fcc665f-x64.AppImage -d

Forcing the c++ library version worked in this instance.

For reference:

uname -a

Thanks for reporting the issue. This PR might fix the problem: #172

latest mk client for Linux amd64 does not work for me too - I see a screen with progress bar and then only empty grey window. The output:

Yes, I moved the build servers to Debian Stretch. Seems to be a GCC5 issue on older distros. I will see what I can do.

Just tested on Jessie. Problem should be fixed with #184

Yes, it works on jessie, but interesting that it does not launch by mouse from gui and does not have an icon like earlier versions do..
