Error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.60

[myokeeh]

I'm new to Linux in general and have been trying WSLg on Windows 11 today. I've successfully installed a couple software, but both of them can't run with the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think it's something to do with the Qt library, but I'm unsure how to resolve it on WSLg. I've tried several suggestions I found, but none of them has allowed me to run the apps yet. For context, I've run Gimp just fine.

Is this error specific to WSLg? How can I resolve this?

Did you make sure you have ICU installed? Try installing it with apt install libicu-dev.

libicu-dev is already the newest version (66.1-2ubuntu2).

@bacongobbler any other ideas?

As of today, Windows 11 (22000.258) and with the new Windows Store WSL install preview, I still get the same error launching this particular app. For reference this is the app I'm trying to launch:

This app is designed for Ubuntu 18.10 bionic.

You are attempting to install on Ubuntu 20.04 focal. I was able to reproduce the bug on Ubuntu 20.04 focal, it doesn't work.

The appears to be looking for libicui18n.so.60 which is not packaged for Ubuntu 20.04 'focal'.

libicui18n.so.60 is available in Ubuntu 18.10 'bionic'.

You can download Ubuntu 18.10 for WSL here.

Then install with:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install libharfbuzz-dev -y
wget https://downloads.quanergy.com/qview/linux/quanergy-qview_1.6.367_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i quanergy-qview_1.6.367_amd64.deb
