Topic: Build 14 on Ubuntu Karmic AMD64 -> libSDL_gfx.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi,

Following the FAQ, I downloaded build 14 for Linux, installed the packages and tried running it on my Ubuntu Karmic Koala AMD64 distribution. Although, there is a link in /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.4 pointing to the linSDL_gfx.so.13.5.1, I get the above mentioned error when running widelands: spolysiu@anthem:~/widelands$ ./widelands ./widelands: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Just to make sure that I am in the right directory, etc: spolysiu@anthem:~/widelands$ ls campaigns COPYING fonts locale music sound txts widelands ChangeLog CREDITS global maps pics tribes VERSION worlds spolysiu@anthem:~/widelands$ ls -la wide* -rwxr-xr-x 1 spolysiu spolysiu 4819008 2009-09-27 17:45 widelands

To make sure that I have the right package installed, I removed libsdl-gfx1.2-4 and reinstalled it: sudo apt-get remove libsdl-gfx1.2-4, sudo apt-get install libsdl-gfx1.2-4 -> both worked fine, no errors.

I also removed the link /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.4 and recreated it with: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.13.5.1 /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.4

ls -l /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx* shows that the link exists....

spolysiu@anthem:/usr/bin/widelands$ ls -l /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2010-01-05 12:04 /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.13 -> libSDL_gfx.so.13.5.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79048 2009-05-05 16:14 /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.13.5.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-01-05 14:05 /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.13.5.1

I must be missing something, but can't figure out what it is...

Best regards, Siegi

Hi Siegi,

first of all your problem really sounds strange. I can not understand, why Widelands does not find a library, if it's actually installed. Perhaps it's a version missmatch of the libSDL_gfx and just the errormessage is wrong?

However I think there should be a link to a ppa that contains a deb-file for ubuntu. Can't you use that one? Or do you even have the problems with that version?

Cheers Peter
