Good to know the Dictionary works there, but let's explore your other
SUSE versions and see if we can get the boot issue resolved.
Bryan Lunduke works for SUSE, and recently wrote a very enthusiastic
review of LC 8 after running it on SUSE and Elementary:

Have you run LC with ldd to see if it's unable to find an expected package?
Richard,
Yes, I saw the article and noticed he had tried it under openSUSE. He
doesn't say in the article which version he used for his review, but he
has mentioned elsewhere that he prefers a rolling release and uses
Tumbleweed.
ldd doesn't show anything missing. Getting LiveCode to run under
Tumbleweed requires no head scratching or additional installation of
libs, using the official installation DVD and as well the geckoLinux
spin (rolling version) in both the XFCE and Budgie flavors.
There's a thread on the dev list with the subject "LiveCode fails to
open in openSUSE Leap".
