Error in rstudio : libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed RStudio version 0.98.507 and my R version is 2.14.1. My OS is ubuntu 12.04. When I try to start RStudio from the terminal I get the following error: 

rstudio: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I solve this?

apt-get install libuuid1

This command will not resolve the problem, if you are running 32 bit executable on 64 bit Ubuntu. Need to install 32 bit version of libuuid1 with `i386' suffix.

apt-get install libuuid1:i386

For NixOS, you can follow this:

In case someone else comes across this problem, installing libuuid1 also did not work for me. This was because I had installed the 32 bit version of R studio when my system is 64 bit. So one solution is to install the 32 bit versions of the libraries, such as 'libuuid1:i386' in debian. The more simple and obvious solution is to just uninstall the current version of rstudio and install the 64 bit version. Worked like a charm!

Maybe you have some dependencies and, in fact, not completely installed.

When I tried to install, I got the following error: 

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rstudio:
 rstudio depends on libjpeg62; however:
  Package libjpeg62 is not installed.

So I simply installed the dependency via apt-get:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62

And then installed the rstudio:

sudo dpkg -i rstudio-<your_version>-amd64.deb
