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)

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.

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).

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

Try to do if you are on Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install libopenal0
It works in my side.

openarena is in debian sid (unstable), so you can "aptitude install openarena"

But will it make Etch? (Iceweasel hasn't made it yet, and I would have thought that would have been a no-brainer.)

etch has already been frozen some weeks ago. also the openarena packages can only slip into the testing suite, once they survived two weeks in unstable without anybody reporting grave or serious bugs against the packages. even if there are no massive bugs in the packages (i believe there aren't) it is already too late for oa to be shipped within debian etch.
but, there's no reason to worry, i will try to continuously backport the latest openarena packages for etch on backports.org

Yes, but if you remember during the Sarge freeze quite a few packages were moved from Sid to the then testing Sarge, so it is possible for OA to migrate into Etch before release.

technically it might be possible if we have beating arguments for the release team, to have ftp-master migrate the packages from sid to etch by hand. the automatic migration process from sid to etch has been stopped, by now (as far as i know). new packages will very unlikely be accepted to enter etch, short before the release. security- or release-critical fixes are welcome, of course!  |

We just need to grease the right palms in the ftp-team Iceweasel and iceape still need to be migrated to stop Mozilla's whining so the release can't be that close. |
