Second Life on x86_64?

English Games
#1

I tried running Second Life, but I get this error message

bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLo.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*** Unclean shutdown. ***

You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
‘bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found’ and ‘error while
loading shared libraries’) may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution’s 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl

Any ideas/sudgestions? Thanks in Advance! :slight_smile:

Hi drstargazer,

As the error suggests, you are probably missing some 32-bit libraries. I would start by making sure the following packages are installed:

freeglut-32bit
glibc-32bit
Mesa-32bit
SDL-32bit
hal-32bit
gtk2-32bit

Then try again,
g

I have that same problem, and in my case it was solved installing Mesa-32bit with YaST2.
In my case it was not installed libGLU.so.1.

Mesa-32bit-7.2-10.1 - Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that of OpenGL

/usr/lib/dri
/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/mach64_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/r128_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/r300_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/radeon_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/tdfx_dri.so
/usr/lib/dri/unichrome_dri.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070200
/usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.5.070200
/usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.7
/usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.7.2.0

To run SL if you are running a 64-bit Linux distribution then you will need its 32-bit compatibility environment installed.
