Paintball2 - failed to load game dll

[idee]

  I am running SuSE linux 11.1.  I was able to load and run Paintball2 on my son's 586 machine, but on my 64 machine it will not load or find the game dll.  The source for the packages was Packman.  The final error is:
 
 loading game.so
 failed to load game dll.

   I noticed that the ogg vorbis was also errored.  I have alsa sound, and when it opens there is sound, so I wouldn't think that should make any difference.  Is there any way to get this working?
 
 thanks,

Ogg loaded fine.  There just aren't any music files included, so it shut down.  Perhaps the game.so... oh, that's odd.  It should be trying to load gamei386.so.  Did you download the game from the files page or build your own 64 bit version?

[idee]

I downloaded from what is available at Packman (http://packman.links2linux.org/).  It is a repository of thousands of apps for Linux.    Is there a file I could modify, or is this something that will require a new download and compile?

Try installing that, its probably a later version as well.

Cameron,
  Thanks, sorry to be a noob, but . . .  I downloaded that file, extracted it, but it will not configure, so where do I put it and how do I use it?  Is it a 64bit app?

[ViciouZ]

It's a 32 bit app, paintball currently has some issues with 64 bit linux. All you need to do is extract it somewhere and run ./paintball2. It usually takes a while on the first run to generate some security stuff, which may make the game look like it isn't working.

Thanks,
  We got it up and running.  Are there any maps with bots for single player, or multi-player mode, or is it strictly multi-player networked or internet?

  Thanks again for the help.

It's multiplayer only, pretty much.  There are bots, but they just wander aimlessly.

Thanks again.  I just need to get my network up and running.  Then my boy can have fun trying to take out dad with some paint balls.  Looking forward to it.
