SubTile doesn't function on Ubuntu 16.04LTS

[Peter Scholtens]

The following errors appear if I try to run SubTile on the latest stable release of Ubuntu (amd64):
firefox -app application.ini
Error: Platform version '51.0.1' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 3.7
maxVersion <= 50

If I modify the maxVersion to e.g. 52, it will start but complain about the subversion library (it requests version 0 while 1 is present on the system):
couldn't open library libsvnclient-1.so.0
But this one is present:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsvn_client-1.so.1.0.0

How can I get this working again? Or do you plan an update of subTile?

Hi Peter, thx for reporting.

I could not release yet a version for Gecko newer > 50 because I didn't have much time for testing SubTile with recent FF, it will be coming soon though. Until then feel free to try out the modified MaxVersion setting in application.ini the way it suites your needs - I hope you'd care to share your expirience here.

As to your second problem, it looks like your have multiple incompatible SVN installations on your machine (SO version actually doesn't matter as long as the SVN version is > 1.6). Try to point SubTile to the path where the proper libsvn_client sits - most likely it'd be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, how to do it is described in the [FAQ] Q1.
