missing libopenal.so.0 ??

(1/3) > >>

MisterV:
Hi,

I tried to start OpenArena on Linux, and I got an error message :

openArena: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


What I did to get this message :

Download the linux tarball
extract it in a folder on my desktop
Launch ioquake3.i386

I tried to rename the folder baseoa -> baseq3 : doesn't work

Now I'm trying to get the files from the svn repo.

Does anyone has an idea about a way to solve my problem ?

(sorry for my english, it's not my natural language)

baud123:
libopenal is a library used for sound. Just install it on your system.

On debian, I suppose it's the package named libopenal0a (apt-get install libopenal0a), on Mandriva just use the command : urpmi libopenal0
On any GNU/Linux system, you can use the following command :
whereis libopenal.so.0  # will show that it's installed correctly and you can launch the game.

What would be the use of renaming baseoa to baseq3 ? It works for me without having to do this.
BTW, you forgot to tell which distribution you're using.

Jeric Hikari:
Google for it if your distro of choice doesn't have it in their repositories(I imagian thats something that owuld be included if said destro also houses games).

Ferk:
If you have the beryl repositories in your sources.list then be warned as they host an old version of openal0a that would not work with OA

if you dont have beryl repos or if you don't even know what beryl is then nevermind, you are safe

Sumfvm:
Try to do if you are on Debian/Ubuntu:

apt-get install libopenal0

It works in my side.
