Which implies that you do not have the libXss.so.1 library installed on
your system. How to install this library depends on your linux distro.
For Debian-based distros that can be achieved as:

apt-get update; apt-get install libXss1

(for Ubuntu and any other distro that omits the root user you will need
to prefix these commands by "sudo")

While for readhat-based distros that can be installed via:

yum install libXss1
