[Solved] Library issue after latest update
« on: June 30, 2008, 08:20:57 pm »
Hi

I've successfully used Planeshift for about two weeks. Today, i ran the updater after reading the news on the website.
The problem is that the game won't launch anymore, here is the output :
Code: [Select]
/opt/PlaneShift$ ./psclient
./psclient.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(the OS is Linux Mint 4 Daryna KDE CE (Ubuntu Gutsy based))

The problem is i don't have any 'fixlib.sh' script in my Planeshift directory.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ed

I had the same issue on Ubuntu Feisty.  I loaded up Synaptic, searched for "openal" and installed it.  Now PS works just fine.

I have the same issue with the binary install (and a different issue completely with my source build XD) in Gentoo.  Sure I could install openal, but I don't really think it should be necessary.  Does anyone know any other ways around this?  Openal is pretty antiquated as I understand and it would be better not to make it mandatory (as it never used to be...)

Umm, OpenAL is as antiquated as OpenGL :P

I'll add the lib to the updater tomorrow.

Ok, i went the same way as jruggle and installed the openal package.
It works ok now.

Thank you all for your replies.
Have a good day.
