Ok, that error remains but the other one about the missing libconfg2-4 is gone it seems. I'll look into it a bit more.
TiddlyDesktop is basically an application that allows a user to open, modify, and save their TiddlyWikis (the .html files) on their desktop. Since TiddlyWiki contains various scripts that require an active server (or equivalent) to properly function. TiddlyDesktop provides the needed environment. You can also use an externally hosted service like TiddlyHost, it just won't be on your local machine. There are also browser plugins for you to host and edit your TiddlyWiki files from online file sharing services like Google Drive or Dropbox. Instead of using TiddlyDesktop to create your TiddlyWikis you can also just go to https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted and then click on the blue download button. The empty.html is a fully functional TiddlyWiki file. Below the download button is also an area that you can use to see what options are available to use TiddlyWiki based on OS and/or Browser requirements. In fact, you may want to try doing the download and then using TiddlyDesktop to *Open* the empty.html file you downloaded into your Downloads folder to see if it still throws the error. TiddlyDesktop is simply a single tool among many that allows a user to properly use the TiddlyWiki html file. Hope this helps a bit! Let me know if you still get the error after you download the TiddlyWiki file from TiddlyWiki.com and then *open* it using TiddlyDesktop *versus* trying to *create* it in TiddlyDesktop.
