Could you please try to install xorriso package?

[daikiuk]

I have installed https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libisoburn/ error remains. was able to solve it by sym link sudo ln -s libreadline.so.7.0 libreadline.so.6

[develar]

Workaround:

sudo apt-get install -y xorriso
ln -sf /usr/bin/xorriso ~/.cache/electron-builder/AppImage/AppImage-09-07-16-linux/xorriso

[develar]

Workaround: Install xorriso (sudo apt-get install xorriso -y) and set env USE_SYSTEM_XORRISO=true (10.13.1+)

As a workaround, this has been working for me without having to install anything else:

cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libreadline.so.7.0 libreadline.so.6

Encountered this issue with electron-builder 16.6.1, on an updated Arch x64.
Installing xorriso and having ENV set to use it did not change anything, but the symlink trick allowed me to build, so I'll go with it for now ...

For what it's worth, installing the package and having the ENV variable set did the trick as of today for me on an updated Arch x64.
