Second Life fails to boot on Ubuntu

Hi

I had the same problem and i did what was suggested on the jira page:

"sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl linux32"

Now i get a segfault...

~/SecondLife_i686_1_18_3_5$ linux32 ./secondlife
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Unclean shutdown.

*********************************************************
This is an ALPHA release of the Second Life linux client.
Thank you for testing!
You can visit the Linux Client Alpha Testers forum at:
/invalid_link.html
Please see README-linux.txt before reporting problems.

(no, i dont know where the core dump is)

The same happens with the SecondLife_i686_1_18_3_5_RELEASECANDIDATE and SecondLife_i686_1_18_3_70780_ADITI_BETAHAVOK

back on Windows ... :/

Gstreamer is required for video now (a recent addition to the dependencies), yet the 3 relevant shared libraries (libgstreamer, libgstvideo and libgstaudio) are not provided in the alpha download currently.

This means that streaming video will fail to work on all 64-bit Linux systems, since there are no ia32 compatibility/emulation packages available for gstreamer, in any distro whatsoever.

In other words, video suffers from exactly the same problem on 64-bit Linuxes as identified in this thread, but in the case of video, the suggested solution of apt-get'ing appropriate ia32 libs is not possible.
