Trying To Run Limit Load for Linux


This is a cockpit flight game featuring modern military jets that I am trying to run.

http://www.limitload.org/

The README file says:
To run the game under Linux, just unpack the archive and run
the ``limload`` file. A 64-bit version of Linux is required.

When I run the file it get this relocation error that I don't understand.
Code:
: ./limload
python: relocation error: /home/zebracat/Programs/limload-0.20/binroot/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: symbol __get_cpu_features, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
I decided to try gaming and start enjoying life a little:-

What am I missing?

The only thing close that I found was:
Code:
/usr/lib64/libglib.so
Looked through all of the directories that came with the tar didn't find lib.so:-
Also looked in the /root directory and in hidden files. No dice:-

Code:
Python 2.7.15 (default, May  4 2018, 14:13:26) 
[GCC 5.5.0] on linux2
I can install Python 3.6.5 if needed:-

I found it:-
/lib64/libc.so.6


If I try to run the executable file it returns:

python: relocation error: /home/zebracat/Programs/limload-0.20/binroot/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: symbol __get_cpu_features, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
bash-4.3$ locate libc.so.6

I can't tell if this is an incompatibility between glibc versions or a dependency problem.
Thank goodness it's just a game and not something wrong with my Slack install:-

If I can't find a way to fix this soon I'll just remove the directory--

Is this a file structure issue?

Anyone, any ideas?

After about an hour of searching it looks like Panda3D has to be built:- If I'm not mistaken--

Before building you have to apply patches to the games utility directory. This stinks:-

https://github.com/stelic/limitload/...c/en/build.rst

I'm off to find a game that has more ease of use.

Thanks for trying to help me Keruskerfuerst-

This looks like a lot of work just to get a game to work so I'll scrap this for now and read up on how to apply patches.

Here's some helpful links if you want to learn.

Happy patching:-
