Installing a non-AUR downloaded binary

I want to run the nightly builds of OpenTTD. I downloaded the provided binary, but I am unsure of what to do with it.

I tried executing it but got this error:
./openttd: error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What do? Thanks.

Re: Installing a non-AUR downloaded binary

As always, you're going to need to build from source and not use binaries against this distro. I don't know much about openttd, but I do know that at least sometime in the past that they used subversion.

Re: Installing a non-AUR downloaded binary

They still use svn, the PKGBUILD in aur is somewhat outdated though, but shouldn't be hard to update. As for the upstream binaries, they are sometimes built against older versions of libs than what is in arch, and that can cause problems. I would recomend updating the openttd-svn package in aur instead.

Re: Installing a non-AUR downloaded binary

The problem with building from source is that I need a slightly older version. The SVN seems to only contain the latest trunk.

I have liblzma.so and liblzma.so.5, but it seems that I need liblzma.so.2
Where should I get this?
