I realize this is quite old, but having run into the same issue myself, wanted to post my own workaround here to hopefully help some other poor soul.
Background on this issue is further discussed at the location below (tried to post there, but cannot due to the thread being locked, and anyway that thread leads here): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2070693 Anyway, I am not actually running Ubuntu, but rather Debian Wheezy i686 32bit. My problem was exactly as discussed here, and I can only assume my solution would likewise work in Ubuntu. Since the version of zlib included with the Guitar Pro 6 package was apparently too low, I thought I would try copying the newer version of zlib in its place in the GP6 installation directory. Turns out this works. What I did: sudo mv /opt/GuitarPro6/libz.so.1 /opt/GuitarPro6/libz.so.1.bak sudo cp /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.7 /opt/GuitarPro6/libz.so.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxml2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067557 Title: zlib1g 1.2.7 and libxml2 2.8 too new for each other? Status in “libxml2” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After an upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit, from 12.04) I appear to have zlib1g:i386 version 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 and libxml2:i386 version 2.8.0+dfsg1-5ubuntu2. These appear to be the newest versions in the repositories. Running a third party proprietary program (Guitar Pro) that relies on libxml2:i386, I get the following error: /opt/GuitarPro6/launcher.sh ./GuitarPro: /opt/GuitarPro6/./libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2) I've read elsewhere [1] that zlib > 1.2.5 breaks libxml2 < 2.7.6.dfsg-2, so I'm wondering whether perhaps zlib 1.2.7 might break libxml2 2.8 as well, but that this isn't reflected in the dependencies. Apologies if this is actually a bug with Guitar Pro. It's not even supported on Ubuntu > 10.04 32bit (grumble grumble), so I'm playing with fire anyhow trying to get it to work. But it was working before with zlib1g:i386 (1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu4) and libxml2:i386 (2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.1)! So I'd like to know if there's any suggestions as to what I can do about this, or if it's likely to be a bug.
