Title: new client missing libXdmcp.so.6
Post by: bilbous on November 21, 2006, 07:13:01 am

Looks like my Centos 4 (based on RHEL 4) is not going to cut the mustard. any suggestions?

I'll update the libs package for it in a few hours when I get back from lectures.

It's a dependency for libX11.so.6 in the libs/ directory.

mv libX11.so.6 no-libX11.so.6

cured the problem for me.


edit:
that of course means "use your system libX11 and not the one provided inside the libs/ directory". I wonder if one should try to use as many libs as possible from the system and revert to the ones provided with the client only if something goes wrong. I had also to disable libasound (and use the system one).

Unfortunately providing the right libs is quite a pain, because every distro seems to have different versions or names of versions. It doesn't matter too much which you use, as long as the game runs :)

If you have it, run fixlibs.sh to get the updated libs; if you don't then just download the appropriate tar and extract:
