I had a similar experience on Xubuntu & Ubuntu MATE 18.04 but managed to find the missing libraries which I have saved to my PC. It just struck me that packaging up Scrivener as a snap or flatpak package might be the answer to missing dependencies. Is there anyone clever enough to know how to do...

This has happened to me several times too. I did something similar to fix it.
