[SOLVED] Trying to install teamviewer 15 on linux Mint 17
by ychaouche from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NYNJ)
Dear LQ,
teamviewer offers a debian package to install on debian derivatives. When I tried to install it, it failed and said that teamviewer15 needs libminizip1, and libminzip1 is not available for my distro's version (17 is too old).
I downloaded libminizip.deb from debian and installed it.
I tried to install teamviewer again, but it seems it still can't the library (or doesn't even look for it).
Has anyone succeeded in doing something similar ?
