Hi, I just want to start out by saying that I'm a bit of a Linux noob (trying to get stuff like this working is part of my learning experience!) so I apologise if I've done something wrong. However, after installing the libraries SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image and smpeg I try to fire up the game through the terminal and am greeted with this message:

Code: [Select]

Abnormal program termination!

Reason : RegisterMusic(mp3/d1inter.mp3): Failed loading libsmpeg-0.4.so.0: libsmpeg-0.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have definitely installed the libsmpeg library (which I got from http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/linuxtech-x86_64/libsmpeg-0.4.5-0.5.svn391.el6.x86_64.rpm.html) and the libsmpeg-0.4.so.0 file is definitely located at /usr/lib64/libsmpeg-0.4.so.0 (where the libSDL libraries are) so I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PS. I am running Mint 14 on a Lenovo Ideapad Z560

Are you running the 32 or 64 bit version?

[electron105]

64bit everything. Just checked my downloads and I definitely got the right versions.

Why'd you install the library manually?  Do it using your distro's own package manager; what you did is asking for headaches like this without end.

Hey guys thanks for the responses, I have found the problem and the game works now :) Turns out that the smpeg libraries needed to be in /usr/lib/ not lib64 (which was where the rpm put them).

I installed it manually because when I tried to install the package using apt-get install at the terminal it returned the message:

Code: [Select]

Package smpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
so I went online and found it myself. As I said earlier I'm a noob when it comes to linux so if I've completely missed an easier way of doing things then that's why!

Anyway, thanks again.
