Postal 2 shere the pain - start up error


Hey everyone, i downloaded the linux version of postal 2. I have played it year ago in Ubuntu 10.04 and it runned perfectly. Now i am running a fresh PinguyOS based on Ubuntu 11.04.
install went smooth but i went in problems when launched game - it closed as soon as it started.
Here is what terminal showed:

Quote:
root@reinis-3000-N200:~# "/home/reinis/postal2/postal2"
Failed loading libGL.so.1: ./libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6)

History:

Exiting due to error
I found this tip:
Quote:
4.3 When I try and start the game, I get an error about: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
This error can be resolved by typing:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

into the commandline before starting the game. Note you must use the same terminal window to start the game as you type this command into.
But it didn`t work for me, so any ideas?

You probably thought you weren't going to die today? Surprise! XD

I had a similar problem and fixed it by copying the missing library from /usr/lib (or wherever it is, use locate to find it) to the game system folder. HTH.
