I’ve used rainlendar for years on Windows.
I got tired of un-disable built in spyware on Windows, AI being pushed everywhere even in notepad with no opt out, and even Facebook censored Linux, so I figured it was a good sign to come back to Linux.
After unpacking the rainlendar2-generic-64bit-linux.tar.gz, and running ./rainlendar2 from a terminal I was getting an error
./rainlendar2: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sudo zypper install libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
installed successfully, but the error remained unchanged.
I saw a post in german that I didn’t bother to translate, but by paying attention to patterns made it look like that library would get installed along side libwebkitgtk-1_0-0
After searching for it I found I could install via
sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:Dead_Mozay:1C/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:Dead_Mozay:1C.repo
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install libwebkitgtk-1_0-0
Problem: 1: nothing provides ‘libicui18n.so.72()(64bit)’ needed by the to be installed libwebkitgtk-1_0-0-2.4.11-24.28.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install libwebkitgtk-1_0-0-2.4.11-24.28.x86_64
Solution 2: break libwebkitgtk-1_0-0-2.4.11-24.28.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c/d/?] (c): 2
^-- I figured it didn’t matter if the thing broke as I was only interested in the library dependency. Anyways after running that ./rainlendar2 started working
Figured I’d document this in case it helps someone else, since the last post about rainlendar2 not working was like 15 years ago. Also cool side note: I was worried as the filename mentioned X11, but I’m running Wayland and it’s working fine.
