<div dir="ltr">You're using Gnome here right? My usual problem with Air is that since I'm using neither Gnome nor KDE it has no idea how to handle keyrings. There are some environment parameters you can pass in to make it use the Gnome keyring I believe (you'll need to make sure the tools are actually installed), it's been a while since I've had to use Air though so I can't remember any specifics.<div>
<br></div><div>In your case though ldd is your friend. It'll output the exact filenames of libraries that a dynamic excutable will try to load, and flag any which are missing. I don't think I've got any broken executables on this machine, but a working one will output something like the following:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>➜ ~ ldd /bin/bash</div><div><span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77dc000)</div><div><span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0xb779e000)</div>

<div><span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77dd000)</div></div><div><br></div><div>Whilst a non-executable (including bash/tcl/php/perl/ruby/etc scripts) will output:</div><div><br></div><div>
<div>➜ ~ ldd railmap.png </div><div><span class="" style="white-space:pre"> </span>not a dynamic executable</div></div><div><br></div><div>You can also run this against a library itself:</div><div><br></div><div><div>➜ ~ ldd /lib/ld-linux.so.2 </div>

<br></div><div>Anyway, back to the install on Ubuntu. There was a problem reported by Adobe Air, during install, that related to the GNOME Keyring. I tried various things with the Keyring but had no luck.</div>
<div>It looked like the keyring wasn't being seen by the Air installation. So, I wondered if the files were in the wrong place. After all, some coders will look to Red Hat based Fedora as their first call - whereas the most popular desktop is Ubuntu. </div>
<div>I did a 'locate' on the keyring to find out where the various files were located. To cut a long story short I wondered if Air was looking in /usr/lib rather than the deeper directory in which it resides on Ubuntu 12.04. This was my thought because the directory on Ubuntu was <a href="http://usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/" style="color:rgb(52,101,164)" target="_blank">/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/</a> which takes no account of 64 bit installations. So I tried a couple of symbolic links and it worked!!</div>
<div><br></div><div>So this is a rough guide on how to get Zinio working on Ubuntu 12.04. If you have a different distro have a look to see where those linked files exist on your distro and alter the links accordingly.</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>Most people will be aware of the command for symbolic links but, if not, the syntax is:</div><div>ln -s targetFileOrDirectoryWithPath nameOfLinkWithPath</div><div>I effectively put a couple of files into /usr/lib via these symbolic links:</div>
