@grumbles: When I tested the installer on my Lubuntu netbook with
sh as shell command, I also got the following error message:
Code:
lenovo@lenovo-Lenovo:~/Downloads$ sh ./Sigil-v0.9.8-Linux-x86.xz.run
Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.

However, when I used
bash as the shell command instead of
sh everything went smoothly even without the skiplibctest parameter.
Code:
lenovo@lenovo-Lenovo:~/Downloads$ bash ./Sigil-v0.9.8-Linux-x86.xz.run
