Describe the Bug

I'm getting the error below when trying to run the beta version of Sunshine v2024.1030.140606 on my Steam Deck OLED running SteamOS 3.6.19.

sunshine: symbol lookup error: sunshine: undefined symbol: ucnv_getMaxCharSize_75

Exactly the same error occurs when installing the AUR version with MAKEPKG and when using beta version v2024.1030.337.

The stable version (0.23.1) installed on the same way runs fine.

Expected Behavior

I expect the beta version to run with no errors after being installed.

Additional Context

I'm installing the beta version of Sunshine v2024.1030.140606 on my Steam Deck OLED running SteamOS 3.6.19.

I first used the command:
wget https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/download/v2024.1030.140606/sunshine.pkg.tar.zst
And then:
pacman -U --noconfirm sunshine.pkg.tar.zst
Then I tried running Sunshine, but I got the error message below:
sunshine: error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I used the command below to fix that error:
patchelf --replace-needed libminiupnpc.so.18 libminiupnpc.so.17 /usr/bin/sunshine
Then I got a similar error pointing to a different file:
sunshine: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.75: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And I fixed it similarly:
patchelf --replace-needed libicuuc.so.75 libicuuc.so.74.2 /usr/bin/sunshine
Then I tried running Sunshine again, and I got a new error:
sunshine: symbol lookup error: sunshine: undefined symbol: ucnv_getMaxCharSize_75

I haven't been able to fix that last one.

Exactly the same errors occur when installing the AUR version with MAKEPKG and when using beta version v2024.1030.337.

The stable version (0.23.1) installed on the same way runs fine.

Just from reading what you wrote, it appears that you are attempting to use a different version of libicuuc than the version that Sunshine was linked against. The ucnv_getMaxCharSize symbol appears to be at least somewhat related to libicuuc. My guess is that the library you're attempting to use is not binary compatible with the one that Sunshine was linked against. You can't just replace libraries with different versions in binary code and it expect it to work.

Hello @cathyjf , thank you for your reply.

As you say, it seems the beta version of Sunshine is looking specifically for version 2.2.8 of miniupnpc and version 75 of icu. So I tried upgrading those packages before installing Sunshine beta, downloading the packages directly from https://archlinux.org/packages/ .

Upgrading miniupnpc was easy enough:

pacman -U miniupnpc-2.2.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

But I couldn't upgrade icu due to a dependency issue with freerdp:
