For Fedora 24 users: So some reason, the rpm that Microsoft provides doesn't list all the dependencies that it actually requires. What is even worse, the compiled binaries inside, require quite outdated versions of icu & openssl that are not available in Fedora 24 any more. What I've come up w/ to force poweshell to run: # dnf install icu lldb lldb-devel lttng-tools lttng-ust To view what we're still missing: $ find /opt/microsoft/powershell -name \*.so -type f | xargs ldd 2>/dev/null | grep not\ found libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libicuuc.so.50 => not found libicui18n.so.50 => not found (libcypto* is openssl-libs package, libicu* is libicu.) Now, you need to manually download: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/17/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/o/openssl-1.0.0i-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/r... (Yes, it's Fedora 17 == 2012 (!), which is ridiculous.) http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/l/libicu-50.1.2-5.fc19.x86_64.rpm http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/r... and extract usr/lib64/* files from both rpms to, say, /opt/tmp/lib64. Then finally run: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/tmp/lib64 powershell PowerShell Copyright (C) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
