If you've got this working now, great. Otherwise...

What I do is simply extract the PgS archive some place (usually on my
desktop) and double click the Run-PageStream5 script that is in the
archive and same directory as the PgS executable.

Assuming the dependencies are satisfied, all you need is to have the
library search path extended to include the SoftLogik/lib directory of
the PgS you downloaded. That is, really, all the script does. Well, it
does a little bit more, but all that is really necessary is extending
the library search path.

It has been a while since I've had to chase down dependencies for an
executable in linux and I've forgotten just how to do it. Perhaps
something like

ldd PageStream5

(In a shell after changing directory to where the PageStream executable
is.) When I do that here I get the following:

> linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff29d86000)
> libSoftLogikDisp.so.1 => not found
> libSoftLogikApp.so.1 => not found
> libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9ca1aae000)
> libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9ca1829000)
> /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9ca1e73000)

Notice the two 'not found' results -- those are PgS provided libraries
which aren't found because they aren't in the search path. So if I do:

export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARYPATH:/home/tim/Desktop/PageStream5.0.5.6/SoftLogik/lib

(changed of course for wherever the directory is on your computer) and
then issue the ldd command I get a *lot* more output. The PgS executable
doesn't refer to that much, but *it's* libraries do, at least cascading
through libraries. (PgS's libraries don't try to open all the libraries,
but one of the ones they do will result in other libraries -- for
example, libselinux -- being opened.) The issue would be if, after
extending the library search path, there are more 'not found' results.

Simple way to check is this:

ldd /path/to/PageStream/PageStream5 | grep 'not found'
