openxcom extended installation help

[karatewalrus]

Hello,

I downloaded openxcom extended from here
https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=5258.0

It's got a shared library file called 'OpenXcomEx' but I dunno how to run that.

Thanks,
Me

I do have the dependencies installed. It says 'there is 'no application installed for "shared library" files.' Should it just be starting up by double clicking on the icon?

Right click the file in your file browser, select Properties from the drop-down. From that menu, click the box to give permission to run the file as an executable.

From the description it looks like you encountered some known OS bug

If the solution from ohartenstein23 does not work, try the procedure as described by Meridian in a similar topic:

If that solves your problem but you still insist on starting via clicking an icon you can use my workaround as posted in that same topic:
