[SOLVED] Humble Bundle V games

rockzombie2 · 2012-06-08 04:12:11

Hey, everybody!

So I just got the Humble Bundle V and I'm tried installing Sword and Sworcery onto my laptop. I keep getting this error whenever I try to run it though and I've been getting pretty frustrated with it now. When I try to execute it, it says:

error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so: cannot open shared object file: 
No such file or directory

I've tried googling for help but with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

sudo apt-get install curl

That was the only game I could actually run on my linux laptop :-P Too underpowered for the other games.

See, I tried that already, machinebacon. I think that was like the first thing I checked. Here's my output for "cd /usr/lib && ls | grep curl"

libcurl.a
libcurl-gnutls.so.3
libcurl-gnutls.so.4
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.2.0
libcurl.la
libcurl.so.3
libcurl.so.4
libcurl.so.4.2.0

Which is why I was kinda lost. I have libcurl installed, and from what I've seen from other people with the same problem, they usually have their error say "error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3:" or something. Help!

Fourty-six bit tux

sad I... I guess that helps a little...

^
I think what Awebb was trying to say is.
Are you trying to use the 64bit build on a 32bit system
or the 32bit build on a 64bit system.

Use whichever build matches your system type.
And don't use the .deb downloads, those were made for Ubuntu so they might not work.

I just tried it here and it worked for me.
I did have to add

export SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_DISPLAY=0

to run.sh to make it fullscreen on only one monitor though.

Nope, no change. I'd downloaded the 64 bit .deb (because I thought that'd be better to use) so I went and downloaded the 64 bit tar.gz version and I still got the same error.

./swordandsworcery: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

arclance · 2012-06-12 05:15:07

^ Did you start it with run.sh (in SwordAndSworceryEP)?
That sets up the environment variables so it can find the libraries.

I suspect this is your problem since libcurl.so is included with the game and run.sh is setup to use it.
You can find it in the SwordAndSworceryEP/lib directory where you extracted the archive.

This was another thing I checked, too. When I first downloaded the game, I tried just running this, but it just sat there with a fullscreen of black, and it didn't do anything. So that's why I tried to go into the bin and run the game from there, and that's where I encountered the error. Maybe that's my problem? I can't run it by itself from the bin? I'm gonna try and let the game load for however long it needs with the run.sh script. It may have been that I was too impatient for it too load, but it was seriously taking forever...

^ Could you post the contents of ~/.capy/SwordAndSworcery/log.txt?
That's where error messages are supposed to go if you use run.sh to start it.

rockzombie2 · 2012-06-16 16:35:03

Yeah, nvm. Thanks for all the help though. It was working, it just was super slow. Guess my computer couldn't play it.

u sure? tryed out this game yesterday on my 1.6ghz 1gb gma950 netbook. played fine at 800x600.

but i disliked the game though =/

no torches and pitchforks please smile

rockzombie2 · 2012-06-17 04:47:18

Really? Because I've generally regarded my laptop as pretty incompetent when it comes to running games, but it's a 1.9 dual core with 2 gigs of ram. Hmm. I'm gonna try to play it again and see how it runs...

arclance · 2012-06-17 04:54:12

It might be an opening video or something that plays slow.
Try actually playing the game a little to test that.
If you still have problems please post the contents of ~/.capy/SwordAndSworcery/log.txt.
There might be a clue as to why it is not working right in there.

rockzombie2 · 2012-06-17 05:40:38

Yup, still no luck. After waiting forever on a black screen, I'll hear the intro sound, then seconds later the splash screen shows up but it hangs after that. Here's the log.txt. I end up just killing the process after waiting a few minutes.

arclance · 2012-06-17 05:50:35

Yes it does look like it hung.
I have these lines in my file after the point yours stopped at.

Info: music param theCloudState: 0.000000
Info: begin music cue: theCloud_Title
Info: music param theCloudState: 1.000000

You also appear to be trying to run the from the .deb install (because it's in the the /opt directory).
Please try running from the tar.gz file instead, it is intended to work on any general linux install.

The .deb may be setup for Ubuntu (notice the big Ubuntu logo on the download page).
If the .deb uses system libraries (I don't know, I don't have it to check) it may not work correctly on a Debian based system.

Even if that does not make any difference please post the contents of ~/.capy/SwordAndSworcery/log.txt so we can see if anything has changed.
