Hi,

Im running Xubuntu Feisty. Im getting the following errors (Im running SL from terminal, not the GUI)

--BEGIN OUTPUT--

bryce@xubuntu:~$ cd /home/bryce/SecondLife
bryce@xubuntu:~/SecondLife$ sudo ./secondlife
bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libelfio.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

*********************************************************
This is an ALPHA release of the Second Life linux client.
Thank you for testing!

I tried to install libelfio.so, but I cant find any information on it.

Also, take a look at this topic on the ubuntu forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2636315

That was the most information I could find on this, but it did not help much.

Why you are sudo'ing the client?

Sudo runs the program as root, with root environment. Why you need to run a network client as the superuser? And in particular, running under sudo messes up with the local library overrides, necessary for SL to work.

Run it WITHOUT the "sudo" part.
