Note: I'm asking around on this one. I really just want FreeFileSync 9.7 to run in Ubuntu 14.04. I don't care how I get it done. [URL]

I remember seeing that problem myself. It probably has to do with different library version numbers in OpenSUSE and Fedora. It is probably being compiled by Zenju on such an OpenSU…

Yeah. I saw that. Anyway, now I have everything working the way I want. Thanks!
