libcurl so3?

Hi guys, i got a couple of games that won’t run and complains that it needs this dependancy… heres the error…

./warsow.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed the libcurl from the repository, “libcurl4” and “libcurl-devel”
but it still complains with this same error.
I googled for the dependancy but can’t find it.
How can i fix this? Or if i can get pointed in the right direction…
thanx
Im using opensuse 11 kde 3.5
Thanx

well, it’s looking for libcurl.so.3

a possible solution is to (as root) create a link from libcurl.so.4 (which you’ve installed) to libcurl.so.3 (which is an older version)

  • As root, in the /usr/lib subdirectory:

su - root
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libcurl.so.4 libcurl.so.3

  • Then run the ‘ldconfig’ command to refresh the library indexes

ldconfig

  • exit out of root

try your game again.

This should work.

THANKYOU :slight_smile:
the game starts now, although, i get an “out of range” error
when it starts, i changed my desktop resolution to every other setting there is and started the game to see if i could get into it and change the game resolution to match my lcd so when i change my lcd resolution it would work, but it didn’t…
thats my next problem :s

Hmmm, “out of range”… that’s usually your monitor complaining about it
being fed a signal it doesn’t know how to handle (wrong dimensions or such)

Can you specify a command line parameter to start in windowed mode rather
than full screen?

I dug around a bit… found the warsow wiki… {chuckle} the question you
just asked about libcurl3 is discussed here:
http://www.warsow.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#Fedora_7.2C_Fedora_8_.26_openSUSE_11

Hey! At least I was right!

Ok, back to the problem…

Wiki says you can shift between full/windowed by pressing ALT+ENTER ingame.
Might try that, then select options and choose windowed mode for ‘next
time’.

OR… EGADS! It’s 184 meg… ok, this’ll take a moment.

No, really… still downloading… and I’ve got a nice pipe to the ‘series
of tubes’ too…

20 seconds!!!

LOUD! ooooOOOOOoooo! nice!

Yup, ALT+ENTER works… try that.
