Missing libs.

[Xordan]

*sigh* In the future I\'ll move the binaries into some folder and name them something totally obscure so that people can\'t not run the scripts. Better would be a way to have the scripts and the binaries merged into one binary, but I don\'t know how to do that.

For users of the Debian Sarge also called Debian Stable :

Glibc

I finally got it working :
I had to upgrade my glibc

name of the package : libc6

The package of the Sarge is too old for Plainshift
The package of the testing is ok. It is stable already, so it shouldn\'t hurt to install it.

How to do  (as root) :
1) make a backup copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list
2) edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
3) replace stable and sarge by testing
5) type in a shell where you are root :
apt-get update
apt-get install libc6
6) you should have only 2 or 3 packages upgraded : if it\'s not the case, send me a PM to ask for help
7) IMPORTANT : restore you backup copy of  /etc/apt/sources.list
check that there IS NOT the word testing in  /etc/apt/sources.list

now you should be able to run plainshift under your debian stable

note : upgrading your libc is a hazardous operation that may damage your system : make sur you have a gentoo, or any other CD-Bootable distribution in case of damaged system.

note2 : if the apt-get update commande fails, try a /etc/apt/sources.list with only this line :
deb http://ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian testing main

can someone send me the \"libCgGL.so\"??
its required to open the game and i dont have this...

tks

EDIT: I\'ve found that lib tks...

[Rikoto]

can someone send me \"libc.so.6\"?

I\'m using PCLinuxOS .92 beta and I can\'t seem to find it in the package manager...

this is the message i get when i run the psclient:

./psc: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4\' not found (required by ./psc)

[sardit]

try running ./psclient instead of ./psc

[Xordan]

PCLinuxOS uses quite old versions of the glibc libraries I\'m afraid, and doesn\'t meet our min requirements. I will try and lower the requirements if I can in the future.

...thats what I did.

[sardit]

so if im not mistaken you can not install the package GLIBC 2.3.4?

libc.so.6 is downloadable from the internet, just do a google on it, but i would highly recommand trying to upgrade your GLIBC instead of just copying an so file. GLIBC consists of more then just the library file if im not mistaken.

[Xordan]

Correct. You\'d need to get the whole glibc package and update, preferably one from your distos repositories.

[Darkblade]

Just a note, it seems that the fixlibs.sh isn't working, due to Xordan's hosting or whatever the script is pointing to, is down.
There's a 404 error that I keep getting. Can someone confirm this?

[Xordan]

Ah yes... I updated fixlibs.sh, but the updater mirrors haven't been synced yet for the change. Edit the URL in fixlibs.sh to http://planeshift.sourceforge.net/bin/32bitlibs.tar.bz2

and the tar.bz2 filename to the one above. Obviously change the 32 to 64 if you're using the amd64 package.

[Racal]

ok here's a new one for you guys.

I'm currently running mandriva.2006.0 32bit edition

tried running ./pssetup and got this error message:
./pss: error while loading libraries: libXpm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

I've installed libxpm files and followed installion for game precisely but to no avail.

[Wired_Crawler]

That's impossible, unless You have non-standard installation of X server. libXpm.so.4 belongs to package libxpm4, which is required by package xorg-x11. The file should reside in directory /usr/X11R6/lib. Try to verify libxpm4 package:

# rpm -V libxpm4

If it shows any missing files, reinstall:

# rpm -e --nodeps libxpm4
# urpmi libxpm4

I had a similar problem with libs once.  The issue I found was that I had the correct libs except it was looking for an odd name of them which I didn't have... let me explaine better....

I had somthing like       libsomelib.so.0   libsomelib.so and libsomelib.so.1   and it was looking for libsomelib.so.4 - so I created  a symlink of the lib to the correct name and it worke.d

[Wired_Crawler]

But in normal mandriva 2006 installation that file is named libXpm.so.4. I have it at this moment before my eyes
