Title: Linux setup
Post by: Radiant on Sun 27/09/2009 09:42:57
I'm trying to run some AGS games with the Linux runtime for AGS 2.5.

Actually the ags runtime works with no problems, but I can't start the ags-setup executable; it gives the error "setup: error while loading shared libraries: libxml.so.1".

I've already done "apt-get libxml2" and "apt-get libxml2-dev" but that didn't help; if anyone could point out what I'm missing that'd be much appreciated.

Do this in a terminal to create a link to the current version of libxml:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1

Links can be used just like regular files.

Hm, I'm afraid that didn't help; it starts complaining about other libraries, too. I suppose the library has an internal version number that mismatches?

Are you using Ubuntu or another distro? What other files is it complaining about?
You can use this search engine (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jaunty&section=all&arch=i386&searchon=contents&keywords=libxml2.so.2) to find packages containing the missing file.
