Insync not starting due to wrong version of libevent

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

Hi,

I am a happy user of insync on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, but lately I have problems with insync starting. I tracked it down to insync expecting libevent version 2.0, whereas Opensuse has moved on to version 2.1 already.

Any chances of doing a re-compile or bug fix so version 2.1 of libevent also works? I am now working around it by manually also keeping version 2.0 of libevent installed, which is “not ideal”.

from the log file if there is no libevent 2.0:
ImportError: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Tagging our engineer @lpugoy and he will get back to you.

@rebel72: Apologies for the trouble. Please try re-installing Insync. There was a missing library in the previous build so we uploaded a new one that contains it.

Hi. That seems to have done the trick. I do get some error messages in the log (libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited), but insync seems to work and also starts up correctly without libevent 2.0 installed. Thanks.
