    Hi everyone,

    On this thread different troubles are posted! Most of them are related to missing library assignment declaration (library package in fact). For Ubuntu and other debian derived packaging systems, package name is "libatomic1". For RPM based - "libatomic". Workaround to this Dropbox developers fault could be installing the corresponding package by hands. For example, installation command, in Ubuntu, is:

    sudo apt-get install libatomic1

    On other systems, equivalent commands could be used.

    Hope this helps. :wink:

    PS: On Fedora usable command is:

    sudo dnf install libatomic

thanks if it does fit here better, i will hope i ll get helpe here :)

Can you just check out the steps in the accepted solution here and let me know if this does the trick for you?

I did do that bevor posting! It did not resove the issue, and as described in my original post, belive libatomic.so.1 is simply not found by the dropbox program.
See my reply to @Здравко 's suggestion.
