Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

I have just downloaded the game files and am a new user of the Ubuntu 17.10 for a 64 bit machine. I have downloaded and setup both libsdl1.2 and xclip.  I am struggling to find out how to install it so I can run the game.  I can not find any guide out there on how to install the Linux version of the game.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

All I did was download the install file and extract it and run the executable. What part is causing you trouble?

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

I have downloaded the file and extracted it.  Its just that I can not find a way to run the executable.  Nothing wants to run what I assume to be the game's executable file "OneLifeApp".  :-/

Try running it from the terminal and see if there's an error message.

I navigated to the file location on the terminal and tried to run the "OneLifeApp" and just got this response:

      OneLifeApp.run: command not found

Did you run it like this?

$ ./OneLifeApp

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

i have a feeling the "app" is not for Linux but for Mac which would be the BUG i forgot

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

Ran $ ./OneLifeApp and got the following response.

      ./OneLifeApp: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If the "app" is a bug for Mac then do you know what the work around might be for it?

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

well if the EXEcutable is for mac but u run/need Linux (Ubuntu) than it made wrong thing for Linux soo u cannot use it

but if u are just missing SDL Library than put this into Terminal:

sudo aptitude install libsdl1.2-dev

aaand Enter, it will update or install as nessecary

and if u need them all then wait till i make the tutorial tomorrow (for Server,Editor,devClient)

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

I already have the  SDL Library (just double checked and ran the instillation again) so no worries there.  Still getting the same error.  So I think it must be the Mac bug.

Try installing the non-dev version. Just in case.

Re: Setting up the game on Ubuntu 17.10

Have you tried compiling the game? Download OneLife_Live4_UnixSource.tar.gz, extract it, and run the executable from the terminal  ("'./pullAndBuildLatest"). Requirements are here: http://onehouronelife.com/compileNotes.php?nocounter=1

I couldn't run the executable either, I think because it's built for 32 bit processors.

Running the compiled OneLife_Live4_UnixSource.tar.gz works great.  Thanks.
