glGo issues with python

Hi there,

I'm trying to get glGo to run on arch64. I could fix all missing dependencies so far, exept for python. It sais:

./glGo: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.5.so.1.0:wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I had python 2.6 installed, installed python 2.4 after reading another thread on these forums and finally found python 2.5 in the AUR. Here's what I get when i locate the python libs after rebooting:

$locate libpython
/usr/lib/libpython2.6.so
/usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0

Before the reboot I had the libpython2.4 and 2.5s as well. They seem to have disappeared...
Any kind of help will be appreciated!

Re: glGo issues with python

If you upgraded python the application, chances are you upgraded your entire python install.

If you want to play on IGS there are other clients available.  I tried for weeks to get glGo to work, and I did get it working finally but it was on an 686 system.  Now if I could just figure out how to get my own ISO made and released, problems like this would be solved for people in your situation.

I settled with gGo, which is somewhat less comfortable, but it's about the game, not the client, huh?
Thanks for the remark about different clients, I didn't know there were.

Re: glGo issues with python

If you're adventurous, you might want to check out these apps:

For IGS Games -
---------------------
- RubyGo
- qGo (in the repos, older version but it works fine)
- Jago (not really developed any longer but still useful if you have a netbook as its tiny)
- Quarry (3 games in 1 app, has othello and something else)
- qGo (not developed anymore I think?)

- Cgoban (NOT Cgoban3, iirc they are different and this is the older of the 2 apps but it also has a few little features that are different enough I used both)
- Cgoban3 (if you want to play on KGS)

There are other Go related apps out there too if you need/want them.  Some are in the AUR/repos but most you need to build yourself or just run them as java webstart apps (very simple one line execution).

As an aside, there is also Kombilo (a database application for searching for different positions from SGF's) and Jocoto.  If you get Jocoto to work, PLEASE post a thread on this or an email contact address so I can find out how you managed this!  Its been broken for years on linux and I've yet to see anyone get it to work.

Re: glGo issues with python

Hi!
Sorry for reviving this post, but I had a hard time finding the solution and I think maybe somebody else would be interested (I'm using Ubuntu but it should work in other Linux distributions). Basically, go to the folder where you have the updated lib installed:

/usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0

make a copy of the lib, and rename it so you have two copies of the lib with these names:

/usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0
/usr/lib/libpython2.5.so.1.0

And that's all

Greetings,
JJ

P.D: I found the solution here: http://translate.google.com/translate?h … org%2Fglgo
