What version of Ubuntu does LiveCode (9.6.6) support?

[Ben Rubinstein]

To record an answer to my own question, for completeness: it appears that 
standalones built from LiveCode 9.6.6, at least, seems to work fine on Ubuntu 
18.04.2 LTS, at least. You may need to install some additional libraries.

Phew!
