Military: liblua5.1.so.0 missing (though liblua5.1-gnome.so.0 is present)

[macuser]

Hi,

I have DLed the "military" mod via this link. When I try to start "glestadv" I get this error message:

Code: [Select]

user@ubuntu:/usr/games/military$ sudo ./glestadv
./glestadv: error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The thing is that I do have this library, but it has a slightly different name (see last two lines):

Code: [Select]

user@ubuntu:/usr/lib$ ls -al liblua*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     22 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-atk.so.0 -> liblua5.1-atk.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  22736 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-atk.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-cairo.so.0 -> liblua5.1-cairo.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  14544 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-cairo.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-gnome.so.0 -> liblua5.1-gnome.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 101992 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-gnome.so.0.0.0
Then I added a softlink from the different filename to the missing "liblua5.1.so.0" like this (see last line for result), but the same error occurs:

Code: [Select]

user@ubuntu:/usr/lib$ sudo ln -s liblua5.1-gnome.so.0 liblua5.1.so.0
user@ubuntu:/usr/lib$ ls -al liblua5.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     22 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-atk.so.0 -> liblua5.1-atk.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  22736 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-atk.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     24 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-cairo.so.0 -> liblua5.1-cairo.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  14544 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-cairo.so.0.0.0

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 101992 2011-06-12 00:09 liblua5.1-gnome.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 2011-11-13 21:26 liblua5.1.so.0 -> liblua5.1-gnome.so.0
Any ideas how I can resolve this? Thanks for your help.

Which of the three links did you use? I'm assuming the linux installer?

Try downloading the standalone version of GAE 0.4 Beta3 (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=7635.0) and then use the OS-independent package (http://www.filefront.com/17201774/military_24_files.7z). Yeah, they've been getting pretty outdated. Sooner or later, I'll have to get back to working on AD, but at the moment, Skyrim possessed my soul.

I followed this link and then DLed the Linux Installer (38.5 MB), i.e. I did not use the OS-independent package as you recommend above. I will do so now and try how that works. Thanks for your kind help.

PS:
I do not want to start some large discussion, but would like to know why there are two Glest forks: MegaGlest and Glest AE?
Wouldn't it be better to merge these two again, or are they very different from each other, or do the developers of these forks have different plans?
