I installed the CURL library but it still fails.

I'm trying to locate the Xtst library for Ubuntu but no luck yet.

That worked. Thanks.

You're welcome @mav. Thanks for the update too. :) Can you share the steps on you have compiled it successfully?

Hello Paul,

  Sure. I simply opened the .deb file with the Software manager in Ubuntu and installed using the gui. It was very easy. I can open from the menu. It is listed under internet apps. Or I can just type synergy in the term. Both work to start it up. I'm using it as a server on Ubuntu and I have two clients attached to it (Windows 10 and Mac OSX Sierra). It is working well. Thanks again.

I'm struggling here as previous versions have been easy to install.  I'm never sure what is the software manager.  Please with GUI instructions, thanks John

I've downloaded the correct 32 bit version for my machine which has Ubuntu 17.04.  I tried on a notebook which has Lubuntu 17.04 - same problem.

Hello John,

   Try

   sudo dpkg -i synergy.deb

   I'm running 64bit so I used the Synergy_1.9.0-rc3_amd64.deb package. I assume there is also a 32bit version of Synergy_1.9.0?

Hi Mav

Yes there is a 32bit version of synergy which I have downloaded to my download folder.  I've run the above command line and get the following error error:

cannot access archive 'synergy.deb' :  No such file or directory

I'm lost, I'm afraid.

Hello John

  If I interpret your message correctly it seems like you are not using the correct file name after the command. Did you use sudo dpkg -i file_name.deb? Where file_name is the name of the deb file you downloaded.

The file name is synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Linux-i686.deb

I ran

sudo dpkg -i synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Linux-i686.deb

and

sudo dpkg -i synergy.deb

Both to no avail!

Hello John,

  Sorry. I'm not sure what is wrong. What message do you get when you run the command? Have you set your root password?

I set route password when I installed Ubuntu.

error messages:

cannot access archive 'synergy.deb' :  No such file or directory

or

cannot access archive ' synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Linux-i686.deb b' :  No such file or directory

Are you running the command in the same folder where the file is?

Go to the folder where  synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Linux-i686.deb is located.

Type

sudo chmod +xwr  *.deb

then type

sudo dpkg -i synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Linux-i686.deb
