Issues running Unreal World on Ubuntu

(1/3) > >>

LuchyMane:
So first off: I'm new to Ubuntu, and only installed it on this laptop a few months ago and rarely use it.

I installed Unreal World and tried to run it-nothing happened. I clicked on the icon a couple more times and waited for it to run, thinking it was taking a moment and nothing happens. I do some Googling and find a post on Steam saying I need the sdl2 mixer, library and image-I uninstalled the game, downloaded those with the terminal and reinstall UrW-still nothing. I then saw something about running it through the terminal to get more info on what's happening, and I get this:

 > Running under: Linux
 > Entering The UnReal World RPG Version 3.63
 > App data dir is: '/usr/share/urw3'
 > App home dir is: '/home/valerie/.config/urw3-Linux'
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 204: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != NULL' failed!

After Googling around for the inconsistency, I see few different results saying things which either conflict with each other a bit or I'm not Ubuntu literate enough to really understand what I need to do. I also tried using GDebi like I saw in a forum post here after searching, but it said all dependencies were satisfied. Does anyone know what's wrong? Any help is appreciated!

Plotinus:
In a terminal, you can list the dynamic dependencies of urw like this:


--- Code: ---ldd /usr/bin/urw3-bin

--- End code ---

On some systems, urw might be installed in /opt instead. In that case, do

--- Code: ---ldd /opt/urw3/urw3-bin
--- End code ---

I'm using a different kind of linux, so your results will be a little different frmo mine, but on my computer it looks like this:

It sounds like one of these is missing on your system. If you post the output of ldd, we can probably figure it out which one

LuchyMane:
Sorry for the late reply, life got in the way!

So I did that, but I got the exact same result as the first time, word for word-or I guess character for character.

I think Plotinus is suggesting that in addition to running the said ldd command on your terminal, you'd also post a copypaste of the output here in the forums so that other linux users could help you to figure out how to resolve possible issues with dependencies.

Good suggestion! Perhaps just do that, run ldd (as per Plotinus' example) and copy & paste the output here to get assistance.
While doing so, if you can kindly put the pasted ldd output in code brackets, it would particularly please me, like so:     [codee] your pasted text here [/codee]
Note that I used double 'ee' for the demonstration but you should use single 'e'...

If you installed the O/S just few months ago (presumably from a recent source) then this is a low success chance suggestion but because it is also a low effort one, I will suggest it...
Before doing the ldd suggestion mentioned above, perhaps try O/S update which can help get rid of bugs.
If you have not done so before see updating Ubuntu, here: https://itsfoss.com/update-ubuntu/

Edit: typo.
