+Troubleshooting help for Unpacking resources in Linux/Ubuntu

New page

In Linux/Ubuntu in the more recent versions (~18.04), when trying to run Packager binary to unpack resources, you'll probably run into the following errors :

<pre>
error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</pre>

The binary uses an old version of libpng so you'll have to install it. Unfortunately it isn't available directly on Ubuntu, so you'll need to add a ppa. [https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/fix-libpng12-0-missing-in-ubuntu-1804.html Linuxuprising]'s ppa has a working version :

<pre>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libpng12-0
</pre>

You'll probably then run into

<pre>
./Packager: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</pre>

Here again libtiff4 is an old library that you need to install. You can get it [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/amd64/libtiff4/3.9.7-2ubuntu1 here], download libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb package and installing it should work.

+To solve this, try running the Packager through the Steam Runtime directly. For example:
