I found a number of bug reports online that had the same error (for different programs). For example, http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-92 ... art-0.html gives a viable workaround if you are running gentoo.Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (libicui18n.so.48: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"
makemkv: cannot connect to X server
This area of linux is completely over my head though--so I'm hoping for any insights, thoughts, or suggestions on this issue.
Thanks to anyone.
