I have seen a lot of discussion here about problems with using SMath with Mint and Ubuntu,
but nobody mentioned my distro:
MX-23.5_KDE_x64 Libretto

I have downloaded appimage, made it executable and here is the result:

Restoring environment...

Can anybody help, please?

Try file from this post, it works on mint and ubuntu.
I made a couple of corrections for this appimage.
Maybe it works for your distro too.

I have tried it before posting...
unfortunstely, no it doesn't work

Then I will download liveiso of your distro.
And I will try smath on it with qemu.

Please standby...

Thank you,
hopefully we can get it working with Flatpak.
I am using Smath with https://usebottles.com/ at the moment but would prefer to avoid this complication....

Probably, why it doesn't work is glibc/libgdiplus mismatch.
I will look further but most times problem is this.

I did install mono-devel, libgdiplus and download mono package.
I extracted it and tried to run but it gives errors.
No wonder why appimage not working, mono executable doesn't work too.

Yes, I know all these error messages :-)
thank you

BTW there is another annoying problem with forum software as it is at the moment.
Email notices about your post give the following link:
http://en.smath.com/forum/yaf_postsm86558_appimage-in-Debian--MX-Linux.aspx#post86558

trying to use it leads to nowhere...

it should be:
https://en.smath.com/forum/yaf_postsm86558_appimage-in-Debian--MX-Linux.aspx#post86558

the same goes for SMath webpage - all the links there are also http instead of https.....

I guess it might also be to do with the way my browser is set?

Sorry to say I couldn't make it work.
I tried stable/nightly versions of mono.
Neither appimage or smath mono works on debian.
Only thing I didn't try is full recompile of mono.

As I have said many times;
Debian and/or its derivatives are not suitable for desktop usage.

Regards

Thank you for trying.
