 Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2005 6:30 am Post subject: doom3 amd64 can't run libX11.so.6 [NOT RESOLVED] |
 |
|
i get the following error while trying to load doom3:
| Code: | | doom.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
i have emerged it by "emerge doom3" i have copied all pk4 files over.

i ran | Code: | | find / -name libX11.so.6 |
and it comes up with one in /usr/lib/libX11.so.6
i don't know where to do from here. i tired launching both /usr/games/bin/doom3 and /opt/doom3/doom.x86.
system specs: amd64 3500
gig of ram
6800gt
i just barely installed this system. i used the genkernel. i have 2.6.9
unreal tournament 2004 runs fine.

Maybe you have a 64bit version of libX11 and a 32 bit version of doom3?

Running opengl-update <nvidia|ati|xorg-x11> (whichever's appropriate) might fix it.

typing | Code: | | find / -name libX11.so.6 |
shows one entry in /usr/lib going to that directory and typing | Code: | | ls -alh | grep libX11.so.6 |
gives me this: | Code: | ls -alh | grep libX11.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 27 17:01 libX11.so -> libX11.so.6.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 27 17:01 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1010K Mar 27 17:01 libX11.so.6.2
|
now if i rename the link libX11.so.6 to .back and then download a copy of libX11.so.6 and put it in that directory it no longer says | Code: | | /opt/doom3/doom.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
it says the same error, but with a different library. if i put that new libarary in the /usr/lib and rename the link,and run doom3 again, it shows another link. i am confused. how do i resolve this? |

Have you upgraded your nvidia drivers recently? One reason for your problem might be due to the fact that thier is no longer a emul-linux-x86-nvidia package after 6629 and maybe something has not installed properly with the newer drivers?
I've had a few problems running 32bit games recently and could never find a definate fix. Sometimes if I did:
| Code: | emerge -e world
opengl-update xorg-x11
opengl-update nvidia |
it would help but took a while.
In the end I gave up (after several breakages) and installed a new system from scratch (including writing a new xorg.conf).
Right now I have the nvidia 7167-r1 drivers, xorg 6.8.2, udev & 2.6.11 gentoo-dev-sources kernel and Doom3 now works great. Finally.
It seems like there's a barrier to get past where things change during updates (doesn't seem to always be the nvidia drivers either) such as xorg 6.8.0 to 6.8.2 and with the nvidia drivers.
There seem to have been several threads concerning Doom3 not working both on these forums and elsewhere :/
edit:
This is the result I get if I do:
| Code: | | find / -name libX11.so.6 |
| Code: | /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 |

k. didn't work. i recompiled with the newest kernel, well close to.. i have 2.6.11-gentoo-r1. i have xorg 6.8.2 and the newest nvidia drivers that were in /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel and /glx. i stil get this problem. i have opengl-update nvidia a million times. i have done everything here. now i dont' have a /emul directory. when i
ls -al | grep in /usr/lib (which is a sym link for /usr/lib64) i get:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 2 15:12 libX11.so -> libX11.so.6.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 2 15:12 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1035723 Apr 2 15:12 libX11.so.6.2
i have emerge -e world. that took forever, and 265 packages later still no go. any ideas. please anyone with a 6800gt and an amd64 please respond. |

rhohan,
Try this
| Code: |
emerge emul-linux-x86-xlibs
|
You need to be using the 32bit libs for doom 3 because the game is only 32bit not 64bit.
Also if you are still having dependancy errors you can always ldd the file to see the dependancies
| Code: |
ldd /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6
|
I think that the problem is because you dont have all the correct 32bit libs installed. |

this is gonna sond kinda crazy, but since i had a problem like this it might help.. first make sure you emerge the glx after the kernel
| Code: | emerge nvidia-kernel
emerge nvidia-glx |
then try using the Nvidia gl interface
| Code: | opengl-update nvidia-glx
doom3 |
if it still dies switch back to the Xorg glx and try
| Code: | opengl-update xorg-glx
doom3 |
hope that works for you |

Try using the command
| Code: | | LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/modules/dri doom3 |
If that works then add
| Code: | | export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/modules/dri |
to the /usr/games/bin/doom3 script before
| Code: | | exec ./doom.x86 "$@" |
Here's my /usr/games/bin/doom3 startup script
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
cd "/opt/doom3"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:"
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/modules/dri
exec ./doom.x86 "$@" |

which nvidia drivers (particulary nvidia-glx) are you using? As soon as 7174 drivers came out in portage I emerged them and Doom3 stopped working, I even lost shiny water in NWN. As a temporary solution I went back to the previous 7xxx drivers which worked fine. A day or so later I tried again since nvidia-glx was 7174-r1 not just 7174 and seemed to fix 32bit again for playing games  |

| Just do emerge --search emul-linux and install pretty much everything. I had the same problem and solved it this way. |
