| Post subject: | Running on Ubuntu 12.04 |
Hi, sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find any topics asking the same question. When I run the 'launch_game' script I get the error: "error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I have also installed all the libraries that the readme suggests. If it helps, I'm trying to run the launch_game script from the terminal. Am I doing something obviously wrong? Getting the game to run on Ubuntu isn't essential as I have a Windows partition anyway, but I'm just confused as to why it doesn't work. |

Odd... libXpm is a part of standard X Windows, the basic windowing environment for *nix (on top of which you can tailor the windowing system by using Gnome / KDE / etc). LibXpm should be on every Ubuntu desktop in the universe, unless maybe you're running on a server or something... Is there a file /usr/lib/libXpm.so.4 on your system? If so then maybe it's just some kind of load library path problem. |

Is your Ubuntu 64bit or 32bit? |

I can't find 'Libxpm.so.4' in usr/lib. There are several other 'Libx...' libraries but not that one specifically. Is it possible to just install it seperately via apt-get or soemthing? Sorry I'm still fairly new to Linux. Oh and my Ubuntu is 64 bit. |

Nevermind, I found it eventually inside usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. So RwR is only searching within usr/ib right? Ubuntu won't let me copy and paste libxpm to the parent folder though. |

To make it possible to find by RWR, you could try copying the .so file to RWR's folder, specifically lib-subfolder there. |

Tried that too but now I just get: "error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" I did find this article on a similar issue with Linux steam: http://askubuntu.com/questions/216367/s ... ass-elfcla Is there something similar I can do with RwR? I noticed the launch.game.sh script has a similar reference to a library directory. Or is it just that the library is 64bit while the game needs a 32 bit one? Well like I said I can run the game fine under Windows, so in the end it's not a big deal. |

Yes, that's it, libXpm.so.4 now found by RWR on your system is 64-bit, but it needs to be 32-bit. As a Ubuntu 12 user, you should be able to install 32-bit libs by e.g. apt-get install libXpm4:i386. If you do that, you need to then obviously remove the copied libXpm.so.4 from the lib-subfolder under RWR. |

Awesome, the game is working fine now. Thanks a lot for the help. I do most of my work on Ubuntu so it's nice to have something to alt-tab to every now and then. |
