Missing Library libXss.so1 [SOLVED]

Post by themetman »

I am delighted to have a 64bit version of Zimbra Desktop AT LAST!!!
I am using the new 7.3.0 with CentOS 7.3 running kernel 3.10
Imagine my disappointment having installed it on my CentOS 7 Box only to get this error:

Code: Select all

/opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/node-webkit/zdesktop: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Surely the Install Script should check for missing dependencies?
Well. I had a big problem with the 7.2.8-Beta not finding java, but got round that one by editing the Zimbra Desktop code..
The libXss library is not found when I look for it using:

Code: Select all

yum whatprovides libXss
Anyway a quick search on DuckDuckGo revealed that the library is part of the libXScrnSaver package
However for anyone out there having the same problem, I thought I would post the solution.
so

Code: Select all

yum install libXScrnSaver
and Bingo!!!
Hope this helps someone.
