Iron won't start on Linux Mint 15

Post by bournetoday »

Hi,

I just installed Iron 28.0.1550.0 on Linux Mint 15... with absolutely no result. After installation, the Iron icon shows up in the Mint start menu, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I tried rebooting as well as reinstalling, same result--nothing. What gives?

Thanks,
Tim

I just tried, and got the following:

timothy@TIMOTHY-HP-Pavilion-Sleekbook-14-PC /usr/share/iron $ ./iron
./iron: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
