The answer I found was to install Virtual Box on my machine.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [SOLVED & Fixed] incompatibility issues with other software: URW wants libcurl3

« on: August 14, 2018, 07:51:32 PM »

My OS is Linux Mint 19, which uses Ubuntu 18.04 repositories.

If I do a system-wide install of URW using the downloaded deb file and the Gdebi installer, my libcurl4 package gets removed and replaced with libcurl3. It also removes all other software which required libcurl4, such as Scilab for example.

The tarball download has the same problem.

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask in, but would it be possible to create a virtual environment, or sandbox, in some local folder, where I can run URW without interfering with my other software?

Thanks in advance.
