While working with avlaonia on Vscode and running it in debug. I get the below error message and the code exits and debug doesn't work.
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'libICE.so.6' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable:
liblibICE.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What does this error means, how can I managed to resolve the issue. This error appears any time I'm trying to run debug.
Try installing the package libice6:
sudo apt install libice6
For context, I just installed Linux Subsystem on Windows with Ubuntu, tried to run an avalonia program and ran into this error. It solved the problem (there was a subsequent missing library so I had to similarly run
sudo apt install libsm6
). I hope it will help you
