[Confirmed with Workaround]: libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.6.so.0

[Millan]

When i downloaded new RoR 0.31a and tried to start it, i found i need libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.6.so.0 to run RoRConfig. I never heard abou that liburary, it looks pretty uncommon. Can`t i play the game without this lib?

Uncommon? Erm it's used by www.GIMP.org and www.inkscape.org And It's "WxWindows FOR gtk2"

Hi... I get the same error:

Code: [Select]

peterm@pcpostar:~/Desktop/RoR-0.31a$ ./RoRconfig
./RoRconfig.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But I have Gaim (Pidgin) and Inkspace. They work fine.
So, what can I do?

do you have libgtk+ installed?

Hi there !
I had the same problem : I didn't have the non-unicode version of the library (libwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.6.so.0 instead of libwx_gtk2_xrc-2.6.so.0)
You probably have the unicode one too...
So you just have to get wxGTK-2.6.3 sources, then ./configure with "--disable-unicode" option, compile and install it !

you must have those nvidia cg packages installed. go to your package manager an look for nvidia packages, it should be there.

It isn't in the ubuntu repository since nvidia doesn't allow others to redistribute it (gentoo doesn't redistribute though, so it has a package). the downloads are here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cg_toolkit.html#downloads extract the contents of the .tar.gz file and find the libCg.so file, which I think is located in the usr/lib/ directory in the newly extracted files, place this file in the same directory as RoRconfig.bin that should get you going. Enjoy.

switching to ubuntu has had some advantages, it's pretty nice I don't have to play with the hopscotch dependency hell I have to do with other binary distros.
