Issues Deploying LiveCode Stacks on Linux (File Permissions & Library Dependencies)

Post by takeokismet » Thu Nov 13, 2025 3:55 am

Hi everyone,

I’m deploying a LiveCode stack on multiple Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS) and running into recurring issues:

File permission errors after packaging

Missing or mismatched shared libraries (.so)

Different behaviors across distros

Has anyone developed a reliable method or checklist for packaging and running LiveCode apps consistently across Linux systems?

Thanks in advance for your insights.

The general guidance that a system configured to run a browser can usually run LC is often sufficient, but if you're running into specific errors on a system that has a working browser installed we'll need to see details to help with those.

Are you deploying a LiveCode stack, or a standalone built for Linux?
