"libopenal.so not found"

Klutzine · 06-06-2010, 05:27 PM

I took a look at the log.txt file in ~/regnum/live and saw an error message about the file libopenal.so not having been found. I don't know if it has any impact on gameplay, but just to make sure, I created symbolic links to libopenal.so.0 (located in /usr/lib on my system) in /usr/bin and /lib. The error message is now gone. FYI, I run Ubuntu 10.04 64b. You may want to take a look at your own log.txt file to see if you have the same error message there.

depending on your distro:

apt-get install openal
pacman -S openal
yum install openal
layman -a openal (or layman -av openal, i forgot)

Well, on my distro (see above), the correct librrary was already installed. But it seems RO wasn't looking in the right place. So if that's the case with your distro, too, you should make a link.

preloading would work but a good ol symlink is the easiest and most perm to me...

thats a RO issue... libopenal should NOT be in /usr/bin on any system
