Hi everyone,
On this thread different troubles are posted! Most of them are related to missing library assignment declaration (library package in fact). For Ubuntu and other debian derived packaging systems, package name is "libatomic1". For RPM based - "libatomic". Workaround to this Dropbox developers fault could be installing the corresponding package by hands. For example, installation command, in Ubuntu, is:
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
On other systems, equivalent commands could be used.
Hope this helps. :wink:
PS: On Fedora usable command is:
sudo dnf install libatomic
