[resolved]Tremulous - error loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0

FlamingZebra90 · 2009-02-20 00:59:24

Hmm.

Well, first off, I'd like to say hello to everyone here, this looks to be my first post. I've been using arch for about a month now and I love it!

Anyways, to the point:

The other day i got the FPS tremulous running and played it for a bit. However, today, when i tried to play it i recieved the following error:

ryan ~  $  tremulous 
./tremulous.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm not really sure what to do from here.

I tried all my usual tricks (sudo, chmod 777 everything with lubopenal in the name, google it, read man pages, chmod everything again - just in case, restart) but im really just flailing around.

Could someone point me in the right direction? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've found that the libopenal is part of openal (amazing, huh?)

it seems that its not playing nice with alsa.

any idea on how to resolve the issue?

poking around my /usr/lib/, i found that i had these three files:

libopenal.so libopenal.so.1 libopenal.so.1.6.372

for whatever reason, they'd been changed.

mv /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0

solved the problem

I wouldn't do that. OpenAL was updated 2 days ago, this renamed the library. You just broke anything else that wanted it with the new name.

Instead, tremulous, needs to be recompiled to use the new name as well. Leave a comment on its AUR page, and if you can't wait for the maintainer to do the rebuild, rebuild it locally.

You might also want to look at my tremulous-updated package in AUR and the arch-games binary repo.

Couldn't we just link to libopenal.so.1?

# ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0
