Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition missing libjson.so.0

Hi guys, I just installed the beta of BGEE from Steam and I noticed that it won't start. I figured out it was missing libjson.so.0 by running it from the terminal.

Knowing good and well I had json-c and lib32-json-c installed, I was stumped. 

So I turned to the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … leshooting

and as it suggested I ran

ldd baldursgate

and I got:

       ./baldursgate: /usr/lib32/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by ./baldursgate)
./baldursgate: /usr/lib32/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required by ./baldursgate)

any help here?

Re: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition missing libjson.so.0

the comments here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grive/ indicate json-c has changed the library name with version 12.

If you downgrade to json-c / lib32-json-c 11.x , does it work ?

Re: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition missing libjson.so.0

Well, that almost worked. Now I get a segfault.

Now, I have to tell you, I got the same error when I had the idea of symlinking the newer library with the older filename too. I undid that before I tried this.

I'm guessing it's some problem with opengl or my nvidia driver.

Now, how do I continue troubleshooting?

Re: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition missing libjson.so.0

Hey everyone,

i hope this is not considered "necrobumping".:-D

I solved the issues discribed in the first post.
Just add the path to the steam runtimes, which are located under ~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/(amd64 and i386)/usr/lib/(x86_64-linux-gnu and i386-linux-gnu)
to the ld.so.conf and the loader will find all the right libraries even without running the steam runtime explicitly.

Have a nice day,
Lazarus

Re: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition missing libjson.so.0

Thank you so much, Lazarus555!

I ran into the same problem and I'm glad I found your answer.

I had to add both:
/home/username/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
/home/username/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
... to /etc/ld.so.conf , since I was missing other libraries also.
After that ran "ldconfig" and all good.

Re: Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition missing libjson.so.0

Hi.

I had to make the game working as well.

It was really super easy to make it work.

The first step is to install all the lib32 libraries needed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multilib

The second step is to replace in ./start.sh the location of the shared libraries :

 local lib_path32="/usr/lib32/"                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 local lib_path64="/usr/lib32/"  

Then do as the previous msg is saying :

cd /usr/lib32/
sudo ln -s libjson-c.so libjson.so.0

Thanks for sharing, dkremer. I'm going to take the opportunity to close this old thread now.
