rolauncher segmentation fault

[ZericOfGa]

Hmm...

./rolauncher: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is it still supposed to require the old version? I tried reinstalling but for some reason its not creating the new .62 libraries..

Tried to do a link again and i got:

./rolauncher: /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62: version `LIBJPEG_6.2' not found (required by ./rolauncher)

I had to explicitely get an old version (libjpeg6-turbo package on arch linux) so i guess yes. Tried symlinking before too and got a similar error.

Nice to see you too, I sometimes play on Alsius RA nowadays

No, it shouldn't. Anyway, I don't quite understand what you mean with "it's not creating".

As Enio said, getting somehow (be it compiling or with a package) libjpeg62 should suffice.

I'll try to install from source again.. see if that works.

Figured you'd moved. Try not to hit me too hard, play conj on Syrtis/Ra sometimes :P

Crap. Looks like the version I downloaded from the site was updated, so it doesn't reinstall the .62 libs. Looking for source. Will get back to you when I've got something to report.

Wow Ok never thought I'd say this but.. saved by.. Steam?!

I don't even use Steam, but at one point installed it.. and due to its level of bloat, it installs all it's own libraries needed. I copied their libjpeg.so.62 file from:

/home/username/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.62

to:

/usr/lib

and hey presto! Launcher opens, game updated and works. Thanks for the help. To be honest I'm surprised, first time I ever really got support with this game :d

Since you're on a roll.. any chance you could figure out how I can pay for xim from Africa w/o credit/debit cards? Bitcoin would be nice ^^

About the Bitcoins, we've been thinking about it!

Well it's a shame thinking is only half the process

I'm from the US but there is definitely a market for your game here in Africa. If people are able to get the initial files from a place locally and maintain updates themselves, the data costs wouldn't scare them too much.. but they wouldn't have any way to pay for xim. Given RO is an older game a lot of newer hardware is drawing your clientele away.. but here they're still using hardware from the time of when Regnum was new, so they can't handle the new games.

Just thought you'd like to know :P

Hey thats good news, actually yes, it could make stuff more seamless if those 2 needed libs (libpng/libjpeg) could be shipped in regnum folder for linux. Shouldnt be any issues for i386 / x86_64 and rolauncher would look there first before checking library path.

I was just thinking - wouldn't it be easier to statically link those 2 libs into the rolauncher binary? this would prevent issues with installing the dependencies - which might be difficult on some distros/for some less experienced users.
