Title: How do I install on linux?
Post by: bluefusion on March 25, 2006, 06:54:15 AM

I have been playing pb2 for a while, though i am by no means an expert. I would like to be able to play it on linux, but I don't know how to install it.
Help pls?

He's gonna have to link the "libGL.so" also, so open a terminal and cd to your paintball directory, then type "locate libGL.so", it should respond with some locations that end in libGL.so.x.x er whatever, most likely the one you want is /usr/lib/libGL.so...., use whichever one has the highest number and do "ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so" if the highest version you have is libGL.so.1.2

i get an error when i cd to paintball2 and type in "locate libGl.so":

warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory
warning: You need to run the 'updatedb' command ( as root ) to create the database.

P.S. please do not e-mail me the answer.... i "never" check that e-mail! thx

If the game runs, you don't need to mess with locate.  Shouldn't libGL.so be linked by default anyway?  If not, that's pretty stupid.  If you don't want to mess with the linking and all that, you can just do:

./paintball2 +set gl_driver libGL.so.1.2

Code: [Select]

------- Loading ref_glx.so -------
LoadLibrary("ref_glx.so") failed: libXxf86dga.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
recursive shutdown
Error: Couldn't load gl refresh!

What happen?

Nothing about libGL, just this libXxf86.dga.so.1 thing.
