XnView MP 0.93 doesn't start on Linux Mint 17 Qiana

I have used Xnview MP 0.92 64 bit on Linux Mint 17 Qiana with xfce until some days ago. Today I used the .deb file to update Xnview MP. But Xnview MP 0.93 fails to start.
I have also tried the .tgz but to no avail.
I have tried to remove the whole package and I have also deleted the settings folder. But even after a fresh installation it won't start.
No error message is given.
I would like to use the old version, but can't find the .deb or .tgz for version 0.92.

As I wrote: "No error message is given."
@cday: Thanks for the link. I have now 0.92 installed which works perfectly. It would be helpful to present a link to the old versions at the download page (
https://www.xnview.com/de/xnviewmp/#downloads ).

Ubuntu 18.04 with XnView MP 0.93.1 - same effect here.
Log found in Ubuntu Log app, section Applications:
Code: Select all
/opt/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Not such file or directory
All was fine with 0.92.

Finally in order to resolve 0.93.1 startup problem on Ubuntu 18.04 here it helped to install package
libopenal1
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libopenal1
Now XnView MP 0.93.1 starts with no problems.

XnViewMP-linux-x64-0931.tgz
Yes, I had the same problem on Ubuntu mate 18.04.2 LTS 64bit.
After I installed "libopenal1" and "libopenal-data" (both version 1:1.18.2-2), xnviewmp works.
