Congratulations on the release.

Running ./servo gives me this error.

"./servo: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I guess it should be an easy fix. But if there are instructions to copy/paste that would really help. If someone has an answer, it would be great if you can please post it here.

Edit 1: I think the problem is because I am trying to run it on ubuntu 14.04 server. Also I am using xming and putty x11 forwarding. I installed libegl using 'sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev'. Now I am getting a new error.

Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display "localhost:12.0". thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create window.: NoAvailablePixelFormat', ../src/libcore/result.rs:785 note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.

So I ran with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 and this is the stack trace.

Edit 2: I am not sure if this discussion belongs here. Let me know if I should move this somewhere else.


I get the same error, except that the library missing for me is "libssl.so.1.0.0".

That is on Fedora 23, and what's really strange to me, is that I compiled Servo about a week ago myself and that build works.


I get the same libssl.so.1.0.0 missing lib on F23 as well. I've tried creating a symlinked file... but it still doesn't work.


Ha, I have a VM with Fedora 23 and one on Debian 8, I got both of these errors before coming to the comments to check


Should get the dependencies first I think. The github[0] page goes into detail on what they are.

Most of those are build dependencies; so you shouldn't need to install everything there.

This is a dynamic library dependency, so you need it even if not building.

sudo apt-get install libegl on ubuntu, probably


What distro are you on? You'd have to look up what package provides libEGL.so.1 - it depends on your graphics driver and system architecture.


I am on ubuntu 14.04
