okay, im new-ish to linux, but this whole installing and running things is pretty much new to me...... right now, i have Mandriva '07 with KDE desktop, 64bit version (i think) i have an AMD 4200 64 x2 i believe, geforce 7700 LE video card. and 1gb of ram. i downloaded the newest version, extracted that bitch, and when i go to run it out of the console i get this gibberish.
"[root@localhost SecondLife_i686_1_12_3_6]# ./secondlife
bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*********************************************************
This is an ALPHA release of the Second Life linux client.

Hope this helps
Just find the proper RPM for your distribution, install it, and you should (hopefully maybe) be good to go. |

I have this too. Every update. Fortunately, I have a copy lying around somewhere that came with an older Second Life client. I just use that one. I forget just when it stopped being included, however.

libSDL-1.2.so.0 It is required to run SecondLife through Linux, I think there is a post here about running newer libSDL in here somewhere but I dun think it is an issue anymore

I dun think it is an issue anymoreWhy? I still have to "manualy" make it available to every new install. It is not used by anything else in my system, and the only reason I have it at all is that an earlier release of Second Life installed in in the application`s own libs directory, and I copied it from there. As far as I am concerned, it is still an issue, albeit a minor one.
