Solved Error Installing From AUR / AppImage Crashes

[LinuxAndCoffee]

Hi all,

So I am running on EndeavourOS (Arch-based) and am trying to get OpenBOR installed and working. I started with the AppImage, but it opens for a moment and then crashes.

Next I tried installing it from AUR and I got the following error:
(1/1) checking for file conflicts error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) openbor-bin: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 exists in filesystem (owned by libpng12) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I did some searching and the only other package that requires libpng12 is the steam-native-runtime. I do have Steam installed and use it quite a bit. So I am not sure what to do here. Is it really as simple as I cannot have both OpenBOR and Steam installed on my system at the same time? Or is there some other kind of workaround? I appreciate any help or advice!

UPDATE: okay I reran the chmod +x command against the AppImage and now I can get it to launch. However, when I try to start any of the paks I get this error:

double free or corruption (out) [1] 43429 IOT instruction (core dumped) ./OpenBOR_3.0_6391.AppImage

Thanks @DCurrent !

I think I actually finally figured it out. One of the paks was corrupt or jacked up and that was messing everything up. So I deleted it and everything is working perfectly now!

@LinuxAndCoffee glad you got it to work!
