sudo chmod -R o+rX "/popcorn_dir"

worked for me.
Thanks.

Try this. Fix permissions on files:

cd /opt/Popcorn (or wherever it is)
chmod -R 555 * (755 if not ok)
chown -R root:root *

“sudo su” to get permissions on your filesystem.

I also had the same error message.

I had the lib/ directory in the parent directory of the popcorn executable.

Indeed I had messed up the files during the installation.

After moving the lib/ directory to be in the same directory containing the executable, the error message was gone and the application could run just fine.

So make sure the lib/ directory is in your Popcorn directory.
