Answer 1

You just need a copy of ICU installed on the system you are trying to run canopy on. You can do this by either installing it via the OS's package manager, or by getting a copy in your home directory, and telling canopy where to find it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

You can get precompiled copies of ICU from their download page (http://site.icu-project.org/download/51), and once installed you would do something like:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="~/path/to/icu/lib" ./canopy
