Fedora 26 install issue

[bedrock1977]

Hello all,

Trying to install the AppImage .35 on a fresh install of Fedora 26 and am getting the below error, anyone have a similar issue? Seems like a lib mismatch or something... perhaps glibc is too new?

Didn't find the fix, but I just ended up compiling it on my own. Works now, except for the xSchedule app doesn't. Fails with the below error, looking for a fix now.

execvp(/usr/local/bin/xSchedule) failed with error 2!

If you took the latest code that is. Or surprising. Chris hasn't updated the build yet for some new changes.

Ok.. I got it to work though, I was just missing a dependency I didnt notice, cbp2make. All seems good now on Fedora 26 with the latest build.

The problem with llibharfbuzz is a known problem with appimages on Fedora 26+ (not just xlights)
Working on a workaround/fix now that won't break other distros

There is a mismatch in the freetype libraries for fedora 26+
Can you please download a test version from

Then give it a test and let me know via email?
