Trying to run standalone (headless) on Linux (Ubuntu) - failed at first hurdle

I'm trying to develop an app which will run headless on Linux (actually in a
docker container). I've done this before... so long ago that I can't
remember... with an earlier version of this app. Normally I run this on Mac
and Windows.
So (under LiveCode 9.6.6) I simply checked the Linux 64 option in the
Standalone builder, built the app, transported the folder with the binary
"MyApp", "Externals" folder, and "revsecurity.so" to the Docker container, and
tried to launch it:
> # ./MyApp -ui
> ./MyApp: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Does this mean that I need to
do something different in how I build the app, or install something different
in the environment?
(The container is running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS).
TIA,
Ben
