I am trying to run an app and I am getting this error in a fresh installation of Ubuntu in VMWARE
./futurerestore_linux: error while loading shared libraries: libzip.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I had an similar error earlier today and looks like I had to create a link.
However I do see libzip.so.2 in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu when I did dir in this directory, so unsure what I need to do to get this working. Interesting part is, I don't see it as a package

First try running ldconfig command to recreate links e and libraries cache. As you said that file already exists may you need only a refresh.
$ sudo ldconfig $ ./futurerestore_linux ... If this not work you could use ldd command to list all shared libraries of this program.
$ ldd futurerestore_linux check where libzip.so.2 appears, note also the common path for others libraries. In my case was something like:
libzip.so.2 => not found libssl.so.1.0.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007fbaf8313000) ... So I tried find libzip.so.4 with
$ ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzip*.* there was libzip.so.4 and libzip.so but no signal of version 2. so I tried creating a link and its worked.
$ sudo ln -s libzip.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzip.so.2 $ sudo ldconfig You have to install libzip.
Maybe try the command:
sudo apt install libzip4 Also I had to install libcurl to get the program to work.
sudo apt install libcurl3
