Problem installing on 64-bit Linux

[eythian]

Hi, I can't run the demo installer on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 7.04. This happens:

Code: Select all

$ ./uplink-demo-1.54.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Uplink demo 1.54DEMO...........................................................................................
/home/robin/.setup11653: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the library:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-05-27 14:06 /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 -> libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1

however, this is the 64-bit version. If I force the issue:

Code: Select all

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib ./uplink-demo-1.54.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Uplink demo 1.54DEMO...........................................................................................
/home/robin/.setup11735: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

How can I fix this?

Be sure to have the 32 bit compatibility things installed.

And GTK 1 ...

I had the same problem you are having with the libgtk files. I fixed it by going to the program add/remove manager (I forget what it's called exactly) in the GUI. Search for "gtk", as the package the includes the library starts with gtk, not with libgtk as I originally thought.

Make sure the check mark next to v1 of gtk is installed. Also, make sure its the x86 version and not the x86-64 version since the game runs in 32 bit mode.

I hope this helps.

I'm also having this problem, and I have libgtk-1.2 installed, and also 32-bit compatibility libraries.

IAlso, make sure its the x86 version and not the x86-64 version since the game runs in 32 bit mode.

Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager doesn't seem to let you choose 32-bit files.

Solution:
The instructions in this post worked for me:

Re: Uplink won't install with 64-bit
Install getlibs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790
Code:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget -q http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs
chmod +x getlibs
sudo mv getlibs /usr/bin
cd ~

and then
Code:

Code: Select all

sudo getlibs -32 libgtk-1.2.so.0 libgmodule-1.2.so.0

You may need to repeat if more libraries are missing.

Here are some libraries I found Darwinia (made by the same game maker) needed, which may or may not be needed by Uplink:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-sdl libc6-i386 lib32gcc1
