Code: Select all
./resolve: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On my Linux Mint, as part of the DR install, I have a libcrypto.so.1.1 in /opt/resolve/libs
Code: Select all
ldd /opt/resolve/bin/resolve  |grep crypt
returns this:
libcrypto.so.1.1 => /opt/resolve/bin/../libs/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007fcc4af08000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007fcc3fc86000)
libgcrypt.so.20 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20 (0x00007fcc007bb000)

Fixed by moving some old libraries-- see reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1d7cr2w/optresolvebinresolve_symbol_lookup_error/

hope this post helps somebody else!

Just to echo that, I installed the Resolve 20 update today on Fedora 42 successfully, to upgrade a working version 19 install, and came here to post an updated note - and found your post. On my machine it also complained about a missing zlib even though that's not actually an issue. So I skipped package checking because I could probably safely assume that's fine since version 19 was already working. I now keep the following notes for myself for a Fedora install or update.

INSTALL
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Use the SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 prefix to run the installer from the command line

Code: Select all
SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.0_Linux.run


FIX OUTDATED LIBRARIES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If right after installation you find DR won’t start up, try launching it from the terminal by executing /opt/resolve/bin/resolve. If you see this error:

Code: Select all
./resolve: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_string_free_and_steal


It’s because DR ships with outdated glib libraries. Just delete these libraries from the DR folder:

Code: Select all
cd /opt/resolve/libs/
rm libglib-2.0.so* libgio-2.0.so* libgmodule-2.0.so*


After that, DR should start just fine.
System 1: Custom build Intel i7-12700K, 64GB RAM, GeForce 1080ti 11GB, Fedora 42 (KDE Wayland), Resolve Studio 20.
System 2: Dell Precision 7810, Dual Xeon 2620, 72GB RAM, GeForce 650, Win10 pro, Resolve 20.
