 |
|
I'm trying to play the Starbound beta.
When launching, I get
| Code: | $ ./launch_starbound.sh
./starbound: error while loading shared libraries: libdirectfb-1.2.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
While it to me seems very odd for starbound to needs framebuffer access, I assume this file would come from dev-libs/DirectFB. However, on installing that package, I see that the version it installs is newer: | Code: | | /usr/lib64/libdirectfb-1.4.so.5 |
While I could try to pull out older package versions out from CVS, I'm hoping someone can provide a simpler (more robust) solution/suggestion.
Or perhaps I'm looking at the wrong library all together? |

Get this too. What's strange is that this issue has apparently cropped up only after the first update (of around 500 MB); when I ran it yesterday immediately after it having become available, things worked without any issues.
Try symlinking the relevant DirectFB libraries despite the version conflct, i.e.
| Code: |
cd PATH/TO/linxu64
ln -s /usr/lib/libdirectfb.so libdirectfb-1.2.so.9
ln -s /usr/lib/libfusion.so libfusion-1.2.so.9
ln -s /usr/lib/libdirect.so libdirect-1.2.so.9
|
You'll also need libcaca, pulseaudio, and tslib — you'll need to symlink the last one analogously, i.e.
| Code: | | ln -s /usr/lib/libts.so libts-0.0.so.0 |
Seems to work OK after these measures.  |

So it does! Thanks. 
I grabbed the directfb files from a Ubuntu install before I saw your post though, but good to know that just symlinking them happens to work as well. |
