Tip for Using RE3 in Linux Mint 19.3 (and other Ubuntu 18.04 based distros)

[Artemia Salina]

Use the Linux x64 installer provided on Google Drive

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9C9q2GsC_i7QjJ2c0xNa0REYUk

After installing, if you attempt to run re3.sh, you'll hit a snag

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/QtJambi_seamonkey_amd64_4.5.2_01_gcc-20090628-2055/lib/libQtGui.so.4: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Install the older version of libpng by performing the following:

echo "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install -y --allow-unauthenticated libpng12-0

Don't forget to remove the added xenial repo from your sources.list and do a sudo apt update afterwards!

Oops! That link is to version 58.  Here's the one for 60.

Also, I recommend editing re3.properties, setting use_os_media_player=true and os_media_player_path to the location of the executable for your preferred media player.

To get detection working, you'll need to add tritonus_share.jar to 'Rapid Evolution 3/lib/codecs/'.  It can be found here: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/t/Downloadtritonussharejar.htm

You'll also want to replace 'Rapid Evolution 3/lib/codecs/xuggle-xuggler.jar' with this version:

Oops.  that should be 'Rapid Evolution 3/lib/codecs/xuggler/xuggle-xuggler.jar'
