Problem with libSDL

[Boggy B]

I installed tremulous on Ubuntu (desktop version), but when I give the command "tremulous" I get

tremulous: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the file /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
Any ideas on why it isn't working or what I can do to make Tremulous run on my system?

did you install sdl from the apt repository? i never had this problem on dapper, so it might be because of that.
anyway, here's the workaround:

Code Select Expand

export LD_PATH=$LD_PATH:/usr/lib
tremulous
edit: stahlsau, i would be very scared if you have anything in /usr/Lib, and i really hope you did mean /usr/lib

I'm also running on Ubuntu and I had a similar problem. I solved it by creating a symbollic link to my libSDL-1.2.so.0.7.2 that i named /usr/lib/libSDL.so

Give it a try.

Is the file here ? ( yes it seems )
Is the file a link to an existing file ?
Is the file with read rights ?
