Hi - d/l the Linux client (Ubuntu Linux, 2.6.17-10) & tried to run it with the shell script, but all I get is the following error:

/home/cck/SecondLife_i686_1_12_3_6/secondlife: 33: bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found

everything looks correct, name-wise; I tried adding the directory to my $PATH, editing the script to simplify the name (i.e. /secondlife/bin), even d/l all over again & extracting to a different location (which is the current one, /home/cck/ ) - but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

Make sure to change to the directory you have it installed into.

The boot script uses a local path to get to the main binary.

Nope - doesn't help. Still can't find it. Any other ideas? Why shouldn't this work "out of the box"?

Because it's an alpha? :P

How exactly are you invoking the secondlife script? If it's with

$ /home/cck/SecondLife_i686_1_12_3_6/secondlife

then it will be confused... rather, you should use a relative path from inside the SL directory, like so:

$ cd /home/cck/SecondLife_i686_1_12_3_6
$ ./secondlife

To make sure the script's working directory is correct. If you've already been doing that, then, um, snakes?

Yup, neither way works. :\

I know it's an alpha, but dayum - it seems like the script is failing or something - and I don't really get why that should even happen. I even edited it, having it echo the steps back...for whatever reason, it just blows off when it is supposed to launch...

O well - maybe I'll just blow out the ubuntu install & try Fedora or something...

In the secondlife script, could you try replacing bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin with ./bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin
?

Doh!

OK...sorry, dunbass move. :D I should have said that I am actually running 64 bit.

After I read the other thread, I installed the compatible library, and now the error has finally changed! (weird that it would behave this way...) Now, it's complaining about finding a library - but that's consistent with the other thread...

Have you setup a chroot environment? You'll need one in Ubuntu.

There are instructions for setting up a 32bit chroot in ubuntu on their wiki.

No need for a chroot environment. Add your distribution specific 32 bit versions of libuuid and libSDL to your secondlife/lib directory and it should work.

These two libraries are outside of Linden Labs development and 32/64 bit friendliness is not good with them so using these two 32 bit libs with 32 SL should make your system otherwise functionary 32bit. This does work with Ubuntu 64 bit releases(probably all Debian based distros) . I've been told it works with Fedora Core as well.

If you are a 64 bit user running in a chroot 32 bit environment please note so on your bug reports. :)

Does Ubuntu not compile their kernels with 32-bit emulation on? Gentoo allows you to do that and load in compatibility libraries to boot, so you don't have to use "linux32".

There is no need for the linux32 argument in running SL on Ubuntu64. The only problem may be third party libs not compiled properly. 32bit SL should run fine aside from libuuid and libSDL which are not 32/64 friendly. SL will only interface with the 32 bit version of these libs.
