Downloaded Platinum Arts Sandbox 2.1 beta multiplatform version.

On Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) I had problems running it out of the box.
After I fixed the permissions I got this error message.


./bin_unix/native_client 
./bin_unix/native_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


So I checked to see what it was linked againt.

In the end I recompiled it.

I had to install several SDL libraries to get it to build.

libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2dev

Installation of these also installed the following packages on my computer

libjpeg62-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libtiff4-dev libtiffxx0c2

libogg-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 libsmpeg-dev libsmpeg0 libvorbis-dev

I installed g++ also to get it to compile.

I had to also change permissions on Sandbox2.1/src/enet/configure to make it executable.

LATER that same day....

I unzipped the 2.1 beta again, to see if, now that the libraries are definitely installed since building myself works fine.

I looked on http://www.kids.platinumarts.net/wiki/index.php?title=Bug_reports
and it says sandbox_unix will fix permissions, but it did not work for me. It also says bin_unix/native_client will run without changing permissions, but I did not see that either.

NOTE: This is on AMD64 Ubuntu 7.10 now that I think of it, so most likely explanation is that the binaries are 32 bit.

Suspicion confirmed:
(07:47:39 PM) eihrul: the binaries are 32 bit

It works fine if I compile myself.
