error with openarena

[Mr. Mulder]

i have downloaded and installed these three files from this site http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1379

When i try to play the game i get

rob@laptop:~$ /usr/games/openarena
/usr/lib/games/openarena/openarena.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

if i just chose it from Games > Arcade the icon loads but then goes away?

Re: error with openarena

Thanks, should I download all the files listed there or just the libopenal.so.0?

Ubuntu packages is search tool/page for X/K/Ubuntu repositories.

Just install package: libopenal0a, it will install libopenal.so.0. If you are using Adept > Search: libopenal0a > Request Install ...

Apt-get:
sudo apt-get install libopenal0a

Package manager will install correct version: amd64/i386/powerpc


Packages whole name is: libopenal0a_0.0.8-4ubuntu2_i386.deb, libopenal0a_0.0.8-4ubuntu2_amd64.deb or libopenal0a_0.0.8-4ubuntu2_powerpc.deb.

If you don't have internet connection (you are downloading packages on the other machine). Follow the links to the Package Download Selection.

Re: error with openarena

Wow that worked!

I've tried out many distros and Kubuntu is the very first to use my on board IBM R40 graphics straight away, it almost seems strange playing a fully 3D game in Linux!

Pity there aren't many modern staged FPS's, the majority of them seem to be space/future themed, nothing like Counter srtrike or ghost recon...


Anyway, thanks for your help
