AC does not detect libsdl but it exists [SOLVED]

[vonunov]

[SELECT ALL] Code:

jack@old-rusty ~/assaultcube > ./assaultcube.sh
/home/jack/assaultcube/bin_unix/linux_64_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But

[SELECT ALL] Code:

old-rusty lib # pwd
/usr/lib
old-rusty lib # ls *SDL*
libSDL-1.2.so.0  libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2  libSDL.a  libSDL.la  libSDL.so  libSDLmain.a

What's going on? How can I see what directories Assault Cube is checking for this library in? It also happens when I run the binary directly.

I tried making a link so that I now have the filename AC is looking for:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

old-rusty lib # ls -l *SDL*
lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root     20 Jan  6 15:07 libSDL-1.2.so.0 -> libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 395712 Jan  6 15:07 libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2
lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root     20 Jan  6 15:07 libSDL-image-1.2.so.0 -> libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 725576 Jan  6 15:07 libSDL.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    835 Jan  6 15:07 libSDL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 Jan  6 15:07 libSDL.so -> libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    826 Jan  6 15:07 libSDLmain.a

But I have the same issue still.

Edit: After writing the link filename correctly I do not have the same error but now:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

jack@old-rusty ~/assaultcube > ./assaultcube.sh

Edit: Turns out it is a different package I needed, sdl-image. AC runs but now I need to figure out why it is at 2 fps.

Most likely it's a driver issue. Make sure you have the one you need for your graphics adapter even if you need the <cringe>proprietary</cringe> one.

Better don't try running a 3D game inside a VM.

[eftertanke]

Woops didn't catch that. I don't think (even) AC will work in a VM.

[Darkbee]

It can and it will. I can use AC in a Windows 7 Parallels VM on Mac OSX 6. Why I'd want to? Who knows, but it is possible. (I got about ~100 FPS connect to a server with about 10 users)

[vonunov]

I'm not in a VM. Not sure why it says that. But AC does run horribly in VirtualBox.

AC runs OK after I installed proprietary nvidia-drivers. I thought I had them but didn't.

The giveaway was the line "Drivers: Mesa" - that means "not OpenGL" - another way to test this is to (try to) run "glxgears -info", or even

[SELECT ALL] Code:

glxgears -info 2>/dev/null|grep GL_
