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

[panagiotis m]

Hello all,

I think libexpat.so.1 is a system lib required by LC apps, so it might be
worth installing it.

I have not done any research, but I would expect that it would be enough to
do something like:

sudo apt-get install expat

or

sudo apt-get install libexpat

Kind regards,
Panos
