I am building an AppImage using a build of linuxdeploy from source. All seems to go well, no errors when running linuxdeploy, and the resulting .AppImage file is definitely non-empty (about 100MB size which makes sense given all the libraries that linuxdeploy pulls into the AppDir). Yet, when I run it I get execv error: No such file or directory, and if I run it instead with program.AppImage --appimage-mount and look in the folder at the mount point, it is completely empty.

Any ideas? It works fine on the same system if I use the linuxdeploy AppImage, but not when I use the version built from source. What am I missing?

For completeness, I build and install linuxdeploy with

git clone https://github.com/AppImage/appimagetool.git --recurse-submodules
git clone https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy.git --recurse-submodules
git clone https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage.git --recurse-submodules
(cd appimagetool && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && sudo make install)
(cd linuxdeploy  && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF .. && sudo make install)
(cd linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && sudo make install)

This is on Ubuntu 22.04 on aarch64.

@kpeeters I just worked with a friend who had the same problem with one of my AppImages. I built it using the linuxdeploy container, building linuxdeploy from source (not that building it from source was related, just a commonality).

I found the exact same problem here, along with the solution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301177

Uninstall appimagelauncher and reboot.
