Scim 1.4.5 must have used something which is changed from glibc 2.4 to 2.5.

Revive ripple-client-desktop

Update: as of Jan 15, 2019, trading is working. https://github.com/r0bertz/ripple-client-desktop The first goal is to make it fully functional with RippleAPI . Current status is most read only operations are working except order book. Please follow this twitter thread for the most recent updates: This weekend I tried to revive ripple-client-desktop. l I have reached a point at which I can run gulp without any warning on the command line.

Please check README and RELEASE-NOTES for a complete list. I will only talk about preserve-libs. To understand why we need it, we have to know some background information. First of all, applications are not built from scratch. Any non trivial apps use lot of libraries. In GNU/Linux, most of them are shared libraries, i.e. .so files. You can use `ldd /usr/bin/mplayer` to check what shared libraries an app has been linked to, replace mplayer to whatever program you'd like to check. Shared libraries have versions. E.g. /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51, here 51 denotes its version. After upgrading, the version number may change. E.g. /usr/lib/...
