 |
|
Hi!
I just bought the linux version of the excellent Jagged Alliance 2 and am trying to get it to work under Gentoo. Using the native Loki Installer I almost got there. When I run the start script provided with the installer I get the following message:
| Code: | | ./ja2: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
However, when I pull some tricks (su to root, manually mount cd to /mnt/cdrom, cd to install dir) and then directly call the game binary instead of the start script, the game will start and I can play. But now I have no sound, at least not ingame (cutscenes seem to work). All I hear is a really enerving 'click'-sound that is repeated endlessly.
I searched the web and found something that seems to be helpful (here and here):
| Quote: | We're most of the way there (as a matter of fact, on my system, JA2 will
start up and run, with the occasional crash and no sound at this point).
The JA2 binary is incompatible with the NPTL-compiled version of glibc,
however. Red Hat includes a non-NPTL version of glibc in Fedora Core 1.
You just need to tell the Linux dynamic loader to use it:
$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 |
This is also part of the already mentioned start script.
Now how do I get a glibc version compatible with JA2 without replacing my existing one? Is it possible to install two concurrent versions (for example via slots), and if yes how do I do it and tell JA2 about it? |

| Spending somedays searching and reading, I was able to resolve this myself. If you want to know some details, Bug 21132 has a lot of info. To put it short, all I had to do was unmask a recent version of glibc and remerge it. |
