Getting an error trying to start Glest
« on: 16 September 2009, 17:48:00 »
I downloaded Glest 3.2.2 from http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=87 which was recommended to me. The install went fine, but when I try to run the game from that location, I get this error:

rob@rob-desktop:~/glest$ ./glest
./glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I fix that?

By the way, if libopenal.so.0 is the same as libopenall, I have that installed, and Glest 3.2.1 (which I downloaded - tutorial-less - from Synaptic Package Manager) works, it's just the new install in my home directory doesn't.

You need to link libopenal.so.0 to libopenal.so like
Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0
you might want to have a look at:
