Richard,

Yes, I saw the article and noticed he had tried it under openSUSE. He 
doesn't say in the article which version he used for his review, but he 
has mentioned elsewhere that he prefers a rolling release and uses 
Tumbleweed.

ldd doesn't show anything missing. Getting LiveCode to run under 
Tumbleweed requires no head scratching or additional installation of 
libs, using the official installation DVD and as well the geckoLinux 
spin (rolling version) in both the XFCE and Budgie flavors.

There's a thread on the dev list with the subject "LiveCode fails to 
open in openSUSE Leap".
