Freespace dependencies problem (Game)

AGazzaz · 04-12-2008, 05:07 PM

Hello,
I am tring to run freespace on linux and here is what I get
(I followed instructions in freespace wiki)

Code:

[linux@dhcppc3 freespace]$ ./fs2_open.bin
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy
Could not open SDL library: libSDL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Could not open ESoundD library: libesd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Could not open aRts library: libartsc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x63
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.
ERROR: " Web cursor bitmap not found.  This is most likely due to one of three reasons:         1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder;     2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation;      3) You haven" at graphics/2d.cpp:1526
[linux@dhcppc3 freespace]$

how can I start the game?

ps: I know this is not the Game forum but I think this is the right forum for this issue.

How did you install the game? :-)

Here is what you need to do: you need to install SDL, arts, esound.

You might have some problems with listening the game music. Tell us if it is so...

The last error is something I don't know about

Thank you anupamsr,
The game does not start at all.
I used the "-nosound" parameter and here is what I got

Code:

[linux@dhcppc3 freespace]$ ./fs2_open.bin -nosound
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x63
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.

[linux@dhcppc3 freespace]$

any ideas?

Error:
Web cursor bitmap not found. This is most likely due to one of three reasons:
1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder;
2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation;
3) You haven't installed FreeSpace 2 at all.
Number 1 can be fixed by simply moving the FreeSpace Open executable file to the FreeSpace 2 folder. Numbers 2 and 3 can be fixed by installing or reinstalling FreeSpace 2. If neither of these solutions fixes your problem, you've found a bug and should report it.

Thank you SqdnGuns,
I was running freespace form a folder containing only the executables.
Now I am getting this error

Code:

[linux@dhcppc3 Freespace]$ ./fs2_open.bin -nosound
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x63
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.
[linux@dhcppc3 Freespace]$

Now the game is too slow (you have to wait a few seconds till the mouse moves)

what can I do now?

Open up a terminal and type:

unset LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH
unset LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH

then start Freespace from that terminal
