Doesn't start on a recent installation of Nobara Linux

[robynrox]

It came up with this window when I tried to launch the appimage from the command line:

Also there is no Friture directory within ~/.local/state.

Here is the text from the image:

OSError: PortAudio library not found

Hope you find this helpful and useful! I'll try again using macOS or Windows .

I have a similar problem. The same final error is PortAudio library not found, the line numbers of the errors are different. Using RHEL 9, friture-0.42-20201122.AppImage throws:

I also tried deactivating the conda environment that I had running, although I'm sure that can't be making a difference. If I use the more up to date AppImage (friture-0.54-20250914.AppImage), the error is different:
