Title: Kubuntu Lucid 32bit installer installs fine Game doesn't start though
Post by: ForSSux on 13 July 2010, 08:47:55

Hi there,

I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid and installed Megaglest 3.3.5 with the installer.
Click or double click didn't started the install though, but opening a terminal and issuning the ./Mega-Glest... works...

But after the install the game doesn't start :-(
I opend a terminal and went to /home/user/Megaglest/bin and started ./glest.bin
forssman@AMD-940-Kubuntu:~/megaglest/bin$ ./glest.bin
./glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
forssman@AMD-940-Kubuntu:~/megaglest/bin$ ./glest.bin
./glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
forssman@AMD-940-Kubuntu:~/megaglest/bin$ ./glest.bin

the libxerces problem was solved with installing some librarys

Can somebody help me
Kind regards
Guy

For trouble with libopenal.so.0 the command is like:

Code: [Select]

ln -s /usr/lib32/libopenal.so.1 <PathToGlestInstallation>/lib/libopenal.so.0

That should do it. :)

Thanks for the quick reply....in Lucid the libopenal isn't at /usr/lib32 but at /usr/lib......

Anyway I made the symlink, but got the following error now

This sounds like permission trouble...........
Make sure that your MG folder has it's permissions set so that anyone can do anything, then the program shouldn't give that error message.

I'm assuming that this: "Can't open propertyMap file: glest.ini", is an approximate translation(from Dutch?) of this: "Bestand of map bestaat niet"... Because this: "Bestand of map bestaat niet", translates too: "Truce or file do not exists".......

furthemore bestand (Dutch) = file (English) and map = Directory

You need to run the startup script in the megaglest root folder:

./glest

NOT glest.bin

Thanks

Thank you,

This indeed starts the game and it runs fine.
