TMD refuses to start on Fedora 22

[Nickolese]

Just recently I've installed TMD onto my Linux laptop, and whenever I try to run thedarkmod.x86 nothing happens. And when I tried to run it in the terminal I recieve this error

 

./thedarkmod.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

If anybody else has experienced this problem and resolved it, please tell me how.

Or you have the option of using Freyks PlayOnLinux installer.

But that's a non native solution (runs under Wine), isn't it?. Surely we should be making sure TDM works properly as a native Linux application.

In fact, I found the easiest way to get TDM up and running on Fedora was to install Steam first -- this sorted out most of the 32-bit dependencies.

Did say it was an ' option', but yeah native is better.

I seem to be having trouble installing Steam on my computer, is there anyway to fix the problem without having to do this? I'd like for it to run as natively as possible, if that's not too much to ask.

Do these instructions work for you? I think all you have to do is add the appropriate repo and do the yum install steam bit so that all the appropriate dependecies are pulled in. You don't actually need to run steam afterwards, it's only there to make sure you've got all the 32-bit stuff.

 

I do seem to remember that there's one last step to do with installing the appropriate graphics accelerator drivers. Can you be more specific about "trouble installing Steam"?

Try:

 

yum install libpng-compat.i686

[Scampada]

./thedarkmod.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

It may depend on where the game looks for shared libraries and where they truly are. For example it may search them in /usr/lib while they are in /lib.

When I run the command

 

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo=http://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-steam.repo

 

I recieve an error that states

 

YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http or file.
Eg. http://dummy

Any idea on how to fix this?

I think

dnf install libpng.i686

should solve the thing on current Fedora (23 by now) in theory, though there's apparently a conflict with the 64 bit version which - as X and other stuff depends on it - you don't want to remove or break. Some isolated environment for that might solve that in the future (may xdg app save us one day) without the performance loss of a full VM.

 

Edit:

 

Actually I was able to install libpng.i686 without conflicts when installing libpng-devel.i686 which did the trick for some reason. However I also needed a few more package, so here's the complete list of what I installed so far:

 

libpng-devel.686 libpng12.i686 libX11.i686 libXext.i686 libXxf86vm.i686 mesa-libGL-devel.i686 libgudev.i686

 

That gets me a bit further but still not to the end.
