I am Linux beginner. I downloaded 64-bit DEB version of XnViewMP and tried to install in Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit. It doesn´t run. Before that i used XnViewMP 32-bit version on Xubuntu 16.04 32-bit with same problems. (I converted to 64-bit version of Xubuntu due to better video performance, etc.) After installation, XnViewMP icon appears in start menu, but if I try to run it, nothing is happen. Clear installation of system with no destructive interventions in both cases. Any suggestions? Thanks. 8)

I have tried to do this by typing following command. System answers:
uzivatel@acer1:/opt/XnView$ sh xnview.sh
/opt/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi, thanks. The only information how to install GStreamer that I've found is for programmers, not for end-users. It is here: http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSD ... g+on+Linux. :( I'm afraid, I can't understand what to do, although I'm trying a lot. :( Could you paste some easy help? :|

Hello! I solved the problem as follows:
1) It is need to install program Synaptic - advanced installation manager of packages. We can find it into Software Center.
2) In the Synaptic we can search for all existing packages related to "gstreamer". There exist many packages, so I only selected packages for version 0.10 (it was about 17 files) and installed (because I didn't know which ones to select).
3) After sucesfull installation of gstremaer I installed downloaded XnViewMP DEB 64-bit installation file by doubleclick on it on the desktop and open in Software Center.
XnViewMP is now installed correctly and it works.

I checked it works on these systems: Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, Xubuntu 16.04 32-bit, Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

Thanks for replies a lot. Have a nice day! :)

Alternative way how to install Synaptic is from command line (shell):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install synaptic

Installation of gstreamer in shell is:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/gstffmpeg-keep
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
