[SOLVED] Neverwinter Nights missing shared library / audio

I cannot run Neverwinter Nights, having followed the instructions here: http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html.

$ ./nwmain 
./nwmain: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ ldd ./nwmain
    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf76ed000)
    libm.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf76ab000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7691000)
    libGL.so.1 => not found
    libGLU.so.1 => not found
    libmss.so.6 => not found
    libSDL-1.2.so.0 => not found
    libc.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7544000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76ee000)

I'm using the proprietary ATI drivers, fglrx, and have had other games such as OpenArena running pretty perfectly.

The shared libraries do exist:

$ ls /usr/lib/ | grep libGL
libGL.so
libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1.2
libGLU.so
libGLU.so.1
libGLU.so.1.3.070900
libGLw.so
libGLw.so.1
libGLw.so.1.0.0

Could the error I'm getting be because I'm running x86_64?

Install lib32-catalyst-utils and lib32-mesa from [multilib] if you didn't already.

For libSDL-1.2.so.0 install lib32-sdl and libmss.so.6 should be provided by the game in .miles directory so you can copy it to /usr/lib32.

Re: [SOLVED] Neverwinter Nights missing shared library / audio

Thanks for the advice, but I discovered that if I ran it using ./nwn instead of ./nwmain it seems to work fine!

Thanks for the quick help.

Re: [SOLVED] Neverwinter Nights missing shared library / audio

Encountered one further problem, since updating the game I have had no sound whatsoever. No "Sound Providers" appears in the Sound Options in-game, either.

Any ideas?

Perhaps it needs lib32-sdl_mixer.

Re: [SOLVED] Neverwinter Nights missing shared library / audio

I'll install that but for now I found a simple workaround I'll stick with until I find any in-game errors.

I took the contents of the miles directory from the original 1.29 client binaries and stuck them in the miles directory in the game folder, seems to work fine.
