Amstrad CPC emulator called Arnold worked in Ubuntu but not in Debian.

Hi.

I have an Amstrad CPC emulator that worked in Ubuntu for many years but does not work in Debian.

I normally clicked on the file and it ran. Here's the terminal output:

Code:

$ ./Arnold\ Nurgle\ x86\ 2009-03-17 
./Arnold Nurgle x86 2009-03-17: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there a fix?

Thanks.

Have you seached the Inet for a possible solution?

I looked there first. I may just stick with using my secodary PC (has Ubuntu MATE) to play Amstrad games with the Arnold emulator.

The Arnold emulator worked fine on my old Linux Mint 17 install but today I tried Ubuntu MATE 16.04 on my other PC and Arnold does not work on it surprisingly. It gives the same error message as on Debian 8.

A possible solution is this but it's still a work in progress. I could load ZX Spectrum games but not Amstrad CPC games:

install THAT lib!

or
make i link from "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.31" to "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0"
a normal everyday issue and very easy to fix

I cannot find 'libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0' in Synaptic. Also where is 'libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.31' and where exactly to link it to and from?

John VV · 11-09-2016, 03:54 PM

as to where
is this a 32 bit or 64 bit program?
/usr/lib
/usr/lib64

the name might be different

and this is a very basic linux fix
make a sim link from the different named lib to the one that the program is looking for

now if this is a 32 bit program on a 64 bit OS
install the 32 bit librarys ( 686 )

Yes, it's a x32 program.

Do you rather mean "/lib and /lib64" and not "/usr/lib and /usr/lib64"?

There is no "/usr/lib64" directory (BTW, I'm using a x64 PC with x64 Debian).

I found "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0" in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu".

There is no ""libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.31" - the closest I could find is "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.25" also in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu".
Now I don't where to link the file to.

There is this file (not sure if it has any purpose for this situation): '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2'

By "install the 32 bit librarys" -- do you mean this command?

Code:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update

@John VV

Could you download the Amstrad emulator and try to get it to work on your PC?

John VV · 11-13-2016, 02:53 PM

the only debian install i have is a KVM image

and is this what you are using
-- you have not posted a link

Arnold v1.7.8

http://www.bannister.org/software/arnold.htm

but that is mac and the linux is long unsupported

mame( Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator ) would be a better choice to use

Just for info when you need to find something

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ locate libgtk-x11
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.25

I am not computer gamer much. My Playstation 1 and 50 cds cover that for me.

Hi rokytnji. Thanks for the tip.

MAME to play Amstrad games?

I think I will shelve this for the time-being.
