AppImage 1.63 doesn't start on Ubuntu 24.04

[bglogic]

Trying to start Snes9x by running Snes9x-1.63-x86_64.AppImage on Ubuntu 24.04 gives the following error:

./Snes9x-1.63-x86_64.AppImage: error while loading shared libraries: libgiomm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I solved this by installing the libglibmm-2.4-1t64 package:

sudo apt install libglibmm-2.4-1t64

A better fixed might be including libgiomm-2.4.so.1 in the AppImage so it can work for everyone regardless of the linux distro.

The same thing happened to me! I installed "libglibmm-2.4-1v5" on Debian ("libglibmm-2.4-1t64" does not seem to exist in its repositories) and it also solved the issue.

Duly noted. Sometimes it's hit or miss with dependencies. Include too many of the GUI ones and others will conflict, not to mention bloating the image. This alone would add at least 6 MB to it.
