I cannot reproduce this. Is libnode.so there in your filesystem?

[xiwasong]

when i copied nwjs's lib/libnode.so to /usr/lib,and then it was ok.

[rogerwang]

It could some security measures in your system to prevent loading dynamic libraries from arbitrary path. Could you please check it?

[rogerwang]

close until there is more information.

Hello,

it seems that the downloaded tar contains unusual permissions 700 or 600 instead of more common 755 / 644.

After fixing permissions to root directory eg
chmod +r /runtimes/nwjs-v0.14.5-linux-ia32/
chmod 755 /runtimes/nwjs-v0.14.5-linux-ia32/locales/*
....

then for me it worked and it is possible also to call nw by not priviledged users.

Is there any special reason that libraries (libnode.so, etc) have 700 permissions in the linux distribution ?

[PrakashK94]

Is there any other way using which we can launch NwJs application in linux from root? I mean to say something like updating the path of libnode.so in some environment variable?

It is working fine if we copy the libnode.so to /usr/lib.

because current gcc version is too low
fixed solution ：
#apt-get install gcc-5
