Use the following command:
sudo yum install apr apr-util alsa-libs glib2
These distributions use apt. Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libapr1 libaprutil1 libasound2 libglib2.0-0
If the error specifically asks for libglib200 (no dot or dash), try: Use the following command: sudo yum install apr
sudo apt install libglib2.0-0 # This is the same package
For 32-bit compatibility on 64-bit systems:
If the app is 32-bit, you need the i386 versions:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libapr1:i386 libaprutil1:i386 libasound2:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386
Use the following command:
sudo zypper install apr apr-util alsa glib2
To understand why these packages are required, we must look at what they provide. The combination of these libraries strongly suggests you are trying to run a web server, a Java application, or a multimedia application (like Skype, Zoom, or a web browser).
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib200.so These distributions use apt
Note: This is a dirty hack. It works for old or poorly ported software but may break if the library ABI changes.
WSL often lacks audio and GUI libraries by default. After installing the packages via your distro's commands (e.g., sudo apt install ...), you may also need to install a sound server like PulseAudio on Windows to route libasound2 calls. If the error specifically asks for libglib200 (no
