Hello all!
I recently installed an opensuse system on my computer (11.2) And I am completely new to linux stuff and I can’t run tibia.
When I try to run it I get such message:
dldaniel@linux-cf8z:~/Tibia> ./Tibia
./Tibia: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I checked already and I have libcGLU.so.1 on my computer.
I have a nvidia 9700GT graphics chipset if its needed to know and a core2duo 64bit processor.
I tried downloading some drivers for my gpu through the ‘package search(webpin)’ thingy, but I just don’t know what all that stuff is. So I want Your help please…
You don’t have the NVIDIA driver installed. Here is a guide to install the driver: openSUSE Graphic Card Practical Theory Guide for Users - openSUSE Forums
It has clear instructions on how to get the NVIDIA driver installed. Follow these and you will have 3D support working in no time.
Another thing is that I see you installed Tibia in /Tibia. Don’t know where you got Tibia from, but / is not the place to create game folders.
Please let us know how you got on.
I unpacked Tibia in ‘/home/dldaniel/Documents/Tibia’ is that bad? ;o I am gonna try to install those drivers now, gonna infrom You later 
Hey, I checked that thread out, and after all the theory stuff I don’t understand a thing >.>. I would need a instruction for newbies…
Hi I’m not too familiar with nvidia cards. Have you tried the one-click install options on NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE Not sure which would be the correct one for you though, maybe you know more about cards than I do, otherwise I would check out the nvidia website for drivers. They are not open source, so they can’t be made available on the openSUSE repositories.
Good Luck,
Malcolm
Yeah well it’s not really ideal, for one thing it’s not a document now is it? But no, it won’t explode, and if there aren’t any other users on your computer that want to play it then to be perfectly honest it really doesn’t matter all that much. I just downloaded this to take a look at it, if you want to set up a launcher you are going to need to cd into the directory because the “StartTibia.sh” script uses relative path names.
Here, just copy this into a file called launch_tibia.sh (or something like that)
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/dldaniel/Documents/Tibia
./StartTibia.sh
and then type from the command line:
chmod +x launch_tibia.sh
And then you can have your GUI launch that and it should work. It will be about equally inconvenient regardless of where it is because it uses relative path names in the startup script, so you will either have to edit that script or find a way or cd into that directory before running it.

Oh man I was just coming back to tell you that you weren’t missing much and then I noticed you weren’t using the StartTibia.sh script. I already deleted it but it should make a difference because it was passing some command line options to the program, and I think some of them were the filenames of the libraries that it came with and presumably links to, one of which may have been a copy of GLU. It’s not the best practice but sometimes people who distribute binaries will include certain copies of libraries so they don’t have to worry about making it work with the different versions that people might have on their machines.

When running a 64bit version of Linux, you will (for some apps) have to install the 32bit version of the lib package as well.
In Yast software, select ALL the checkboxes and search for the name of the lib you need, you should then see a 32bit version.
Install that and see if that fixes it :).
