./openrct2: error while loading shared libraries: libzip.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
According to my package manager I have libzip2 installed.
I'm running the latest Linux Mint. Has anyone had any success getting OpenRct2 to work?

If mint doesn't have the right version of libzip, then recompiling is much better. I'd try compiling it myself according to these instructions. I assume the ubuntu instructions won't need many changes. For opensource games I usually download the git repository at latest release tag, and compile myself if the distribution I use doesn't provide the latest version fast enough.

If you want a quick easy solution, I made you a portable version of this library (it was taken from the Ubuntu 16.04 repo) with which you can run the game without installing the package in your system.
The Link is from my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw5Xv02Yq2HrcnE1ekdPWF9VWGc/view?usp=sharing
Just extract it into your OpenRCT2 folder and click on "play_orct2.sh" to run.
Disclaimer: I know some people might be wary about downloading files from strangers. I've been doing portable libraries for the past couple of years for the GOG community, normally targeting *buntu / *buntu based distros.

I think I managed to install libzip4 (it's not in the Mint Repos for some reason) - I no longer get that error when launching the binary, instead it now says:
dodrian@dodrian-desktop ~ $ openrct2

No idea what that's about. Ran apt-get upgrade and checked that libstdc++6 is installed. Still no luck.
I tried following the build instructions from the Wiki, it appears to have come back to a libzip error again.
Spoiler, click me

Unless y'all think I'm doing something obviously stupid I guess I'll stick to running RCT2 under wine for now. God bless PlayOnLinux!

Thanks for trying to help! I saw your post after writing my previous reply, your script is giving me the libstdc++.so.6 errors again :-/
Wondering what I've done to mess up my system :D. Maybe it's time to try Arch after Liam's articles recommending it!
