can't start simutrans with pak128 on linux -help

hello fellow users of Simutrans

i have downloaded simutrans 102.2 + pak128 102.0, extracted them to /home/mdvpp folder

opened konsole terminal and typed "./simutrans" it gives me this error:
"./simutrans: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I have already downloaded bzip2-1.0.6 and compiled it without errors

i am currently using mandriva Linux 2010.1 x86_64

any ideas on how i can resolve this problem?

thank you for your time

You need 32 bit libraries. This may be also true for SDL, libz, libpng.

all other libs are there but i still seem to have the problem with the libbz2.so.1.0 but i find it is correctly installed in the /usr/lib/ directory but the ./simutrans file says shared file libbz2.so.1.0 not there so where should i place that lib so the ./simutrans starts? any ideas?

thanks.

Maybe setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to your library path helps?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and maggikraut.

i have that libbz2.so.1.0 /usr/lib and copied it to /lib how do i make the system detect it?

Code: [Select]
$su
P****word: <enter root p****word>
# ldconfig
exit
Or
Code: [Select]
$sudo ldconfig

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] p****word for user:
$
And you really don't want copy library files like that. It will break security patches/package management for your system.
Right way to fix all this is 'recompile simutrans'.

I am the system admin and i am using linux at home, so my computer my rules, i thought open source was about freedom to modify my own system

[I have used linux for over two years and still i have very amateurish knowlegde]

Deleted my copy by using file manager on root mode and replaced it with $ ln -s command from /usr/lib to /lib
still it does not detect the libbz2.so.1.0 that is frustrating.

and i compiled that package from source via:  $ ./configure ## $ su ## $ make ## and ## make install ## all of those commands completed without error messages.

and i dont know how to compile simutrans from src, are there any tutorials for this?

sorry to post so many questions but i won't give up until i get simutrans working on mandriva linux

"never give up never surrender"

Well, you can read output 'strace -e trace=open ./simutrans' to find where it look for it.

Err. Compiling package for system usually is not the same as compiling library distributive. You can end with one extra copy of libbz2 in /usr/local/. Read log of 'make install' carefully.

created symlink from /usr/lib to /lib now new error message:

./simutrans: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: wrong ELF cl****: ELFCL****64

how to change a elf cl**** to 32?

You compiled (by default) a 64bit library version of libbz2 which refuses (on linux) cooperation with 32 bit programs.

In your case I would rather try using the package manager or just compile simutrans yourself, it is easy. (As pointed by the wiki post above.)

For libbz2 I would try "apt get libbz2" or "yast install libbz2" whatever your packed manager is.

Depending on your system version, also installing simutrans via packet manager should get all needed libraries.
