lo, just done a new linxu install, and taken the jump to 64bit while i was at it.

first thing to do, install SL

i've done the 64bit nvidia drivers, but on starting secondlife i get:

./secondlife
bin/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

im using ubuntu 5.10 64bit and its a (very) fresh install. i've installed the libuuid1 and uuid-dev packages in apt, which didnt help. maybe theres a path problem, or similar, as i really thought the apt-get install would fix it.

any ideas ?

edit: by the way:

# whereis libuuid.so.1
libuuid.so: /lib/libuuid.so.1 /usr/lib/libuuid.so.1 /usr/lib/libuuid.so

that middle entry i made as a symbolic link to /usr/lib/libuuid.so, which didnt help

so i guess the left entry is the real one i want. i added /lib/ to my $PATH. which didnt help either. also did a ldconfig (no reason why, just felt like it) -- which also didnt help.

Keep in mind that Second Life is a 32 Bit application, no 64 bit, so you will need the 32 bit compatibility libraries. Try finding a 32 bit package of libuuid and install it, then you should be fine.

Ubuntu has very poor 32 bit compatibility, I personally would just install 32 bit Linux. You won't lose much for it, and will have an easier time in general.

yes, im finding out that ubuntu has dropped the ball big time on 64 bit, for 32 bit its been fine for me for months and months. guess i might pop back to 32bit then.

then again, maybe they fixed the situation with drapper ? -- thats due for release soon isnt it ?

That could be a bit annoying. Ubuntu(Dapper Drake) is 64 bit, libuuid.so.1 is 64 bit as well. But when SL is run with 'linux32 ./secondlife' it should fall into 32bit, the librarys *should* be 32 bit compatible. Gonna have to try this out though.
--edit--
That was the problem. Ubuntu is full 64 bit and libuuid will cause it to not load, just that one file. So putting SL into a chroot i386 32 bit environment made it work. Hopefully someday to save people this trouble there can be a x6_64 port for this, or perhaps the client can come with the 32bit libuuid it needs to run.
--edit #2--

get an i386 build if libuuid.so.1 (ubuntu) and place it into /secondlife/lib and poof, second life runs on x86_64.
