Solved. Debian 10 buster has GTK 3.0 installed but LC needs GTK 2.0. I just ran the following: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtk2.0-0 This got me back down to gtk v2 and the installer for LC ran properly.

Re: Debian 10 install failure
Hmm, so why would it say "Failed to load library 'gdk' (tried libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0)"?

Debian 10 install failure
Hi all, Continuing my study on Linux alternatives, I've just tried installing LC9.6.2RC onto the latest Debian 10 (buster) build (clean install in Parallels from its add VM page). However, it comes up with an error when installing LC right after double-clicking the installer: "Failed to load library 'gdk' (tried libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0)". Debian 10 has Gtk 3.x installed. Is this the problem? Do I need to go back a build to Debian 9? Or can I still install on 10 somehow with a tweak?

Re: CentOS Death in 2021
Good shout. Although, having the gui available helps when things go wrong like the PDF font rendering issues and being able to see the templates build as it goes for each page/card. But thanks for the heads up.

Re: Checking a received header for LC Server or revIgniter>
Fantastic - thanks! NB I don’t get a result when searching for rigGetHTTPheader in the revIgniter docs. I guess it’s not documented?

Re: Checking a received header for LC Server or revIgniter>
Hi David,
if you go the revIgniter route use rigGetHTTPheader("myCustomHeader"),
otherwise you can use $_SERVER["HTTP_myCustomHeader"].
