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.
