start fine
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2018-02-09 17:32:33 UTC 
Some users report a missing OpenAL shared lib to include in the bundle.

I suspect an init of the library at startup parsing audio hardware (Alsa layer here), and a problem to detect config file.

./digikam-5.9.0-20180209T014824-x86-64.appimage start properly here under Mageia6...


Which Linux system do you use exactly ?

Comment 4 pascal lacroix 2018-02-09 21:06:11 UTC 
As you said, some users report a missing OpenAL shared lib to include in the bundle:

I try with alsoft-conf and libopenal-dev installed and now, ./digikam-5.9.0-20180209T014824-x86-64.appimage start now properly on my system
