TMD refuses to start on Fedora 22

Recommended Posts

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.

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"?

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.

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.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
