I decided to install tystudio on my laptop.

I downloaded it from here.

Ran the install:

sudo sh tystudio.i386.sh

Which resulted in:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing TyStudio......

TyStudio, the Ultimate Tivo Media Software!
Version 0.5.0

Automated Linux Installation Script by the TyStudio Team

Begin installation process now? [yes]:

Please type the path to install TyStudio into [/usr/local/bin]:


Done! Type "tystudio" (no quotes) at any time to run it.

Looking good. Let's try running it:

tystudio

Which outputs:

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

Hmm.

I did a search at packages.ubuntu.com, for that library, and the results are here.

So needed "libs/libxft1". Installed it like:

sudo apt-get install libxft1

I tried running tystudio again, and this time saw:

tystudio: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Back to search again, there are 2 packages containing the necessary file, a normal one, and a development/debug one.

I installed the normal, non dev one:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2

This time tystudio ran.

I didn't have any .ty files handy, so I couldn't test doing any editing, that's for another time.
