Binary throwing no such file or directory for libbz2.so.1.0

[iWisp360]

When I open newer versions of the launcher on my fedora system. It fails with error loading a shared object: libbz2.so.1.0, no such file or directory. This didn't happen on 1.7.x.

Thankfully you made an issue, I was thinking to create one then forgot it. Anyways here's the fix
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0

Thanks for the workaround! Hope this gets fixed soon

Looking at the ldd output for the launcher I can see two requirements for libbz2.so

        libbz2.so.1.0 => not found
        libbz2.so.1 => /lib64/libbz2.so.1 (0x00007f54f94fb000)

Patching the binary to remove the explicit dependency to the 1.0 version makes the launcher run just fine:

patchelf --remove-needed libbz2.so.1.0 honkers-railway-launcher

For the workaround by @mrvictory1, I would recommend putting the library in /usr/local/lib instead, just to be safe:

ln -s /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libbz2.so.1.0

I built the launcher just now and the dependency issue is fixed. Next release should hopefully resolve the issue.

@wchao96 did you test an-anime-game-launcher or only honkers railway? The former was also affected.

Indeed, It also happened on an anime game launcher

@mrvictory1 @iWisp360 just tested An Anime Game Launcher and it works as well :) If you would like to try building the apps yourselves, you can:

1. Clone the git repo
2. Install rust/cargo
3. Run cargo build --release and install any missing system packages that the error messages may spit out eg gtk4-devel libadwaita-devel, etc
4. App will be created in ./target/release/
