I am on Ubuntu 18.04. After I installed the original game (English, linux) I tried to launch it and it wouldn't launch. When I tried to run start.sh through the terminal it complained that it couldn't find the shared file or directory "libreadline.so.6". This is because I have libreadline7. I didn't know how to fix this, so I tried to load the game's data with standalone ScummVM and it worked.
GOG, please update the linux version of the original game to look for libreadline.so.7, maybe this would be fixed by updating the included version of ScummVM? Thanks.

Found this as soon as I realized Broken Sword wasn't booting. I tried to create a symlink to readline 7 to 6 and that didn't really work either. You said you got a standalone install of ScummVM to work with the data files right? I tried to do that but couldn't find a way to get ScummVM to recognize the game. How did you do this?

I got the same issue and also manage to fix it by using a standalone version of ScummVM. For people like me that got the error and stumbled on this post you need to:
- install ScummVM
- in the file support/gog_com.shlib replace
./scummvm/scummvm -c "${conf}" --themepath=scummvm
on line 170 by
scummvm -c "${conf}" --themepath=scummvm

It worked also in my Debian 10 box.
Thanks
