This issue will occur if you are missing the libXss.so.1 library, which is part of the libXScrnSaver package. To resolve this issue, run the command:
sudo yum install libXScrnSaver

The above answer works on Redhat-based distros (Fedora, CentOS, etc.)
If you receive the libXss.so.1 error on a Debian based distro (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.), then the equivalent fix is:
sudo apt-get install libxss1
