Problems Getting Second Life to Work with Fedora Core 5 Test 3

The reason I am using this test distro is because its the first distro to actually recognize my video card properly. I have extracted the file folder from the zip file. When I do the ./secondlife I get this error.

/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libCg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Thanks

libCg.so is one of the library files in the lib/ directory of Secondlife. Do a ls -l lib/ in the root of your SecondLife directory. What is the output? How are you starting the game?

Also, it is all very well that FC recognises your card, but it is almost 100% certain that it will not be using accelerated 3D drivers as these are all proprietary (AFAIK). What gfx card are you using? You need to find the proprietary NVIDIA or ATI drivers (depending on your card) on the web and install them.

edit: I have just noticed you said extracted from zip file. The linux version comes in a tar.gz file. Is this what you mean!?

edit 2: I get this error if I try to start secondlife-bin. The way to start the game is to type ./secondlife in the SL root directory.

When I enter the ls -l lib/
This is the output

[david@localhost /]$ ls -l lib

I am trying to start the game by changing directory into the Second Life directory. From there I see an executable file named second life. So from the prompt I type "./Secondlife and then I get that error. I am not sure exactly how to check the driver that I am using or how to install the proper one for that matter. I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated

Make sure that the script "secondlife" (the executable you were talking about) has a line like "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib" or similar in it.

Having said that you might get it to run eventually but wouldn't be able to log on anymore, because 1.8.4.7 is obsolete. We're going to have to wait for 1.9 before we can investigate further.

No, not in the root of the whole directory tree (/) in the "root" of your Secondlife directory:

cd SecondLife_1_8_4_7
ls -l lib

And you should have a list of 20 or so libraries.

try:

cat secondlife

You will get:

#!/bin/sh
cd `dirname $0`
# HACK: MALLOC_CHECK_=0 is a temporary workaround for some glibc installations.

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib bin/secondlife-bin $@ 2>&1 | tee lastrun.log

Notice there is a LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib just before it starts the executable (bin/secondlife-bin). If it does not do this, it will not find the library. I therefore think you are trying to start secondlife-bin rather than the secondlife script.

then try ./secondlife

and it should run!

But as noted above, the current linux version has not yet been updated, so you will not be able to get online yet... (waiting...)

You could always try to install wine and give the windows exe a go!! (although perhaps not if you value your time!)
