When I tried to run Second Life’s beta release on linux, from the command line, I got the following error:<\/p>\n
\n64-bit Linux detected.\nRunning from \/home\/celesteh\/.secondlife-install\n - Installing menu entries in \/home\/celesteh\/.local\/share\/applications\nbin\/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory\n*** Bad shutdown ($LL_RUN_ERR). ***\n\nYou are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The\nmost common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly\n'bin\/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found' and 'error while\nloading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux\ndistribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.\nFor example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:\n$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl\n\n*******************************************************\nThis is a BETA release of the Second Life linux client.\nThank you for testing!\nPlease see README-linux.txt before reporting problems.\n<\/pre>\nI checked if I had libGL.so.1 installed. I did:<\/p>\n
\n$ sudo find \/ -name libGL.so.1\n[sudo] password for celesteh: \n\/usr\/lib32\/mesa\/libGL.so.1\n\/usr\/lib\/x86_64-linux-gnu\/mesa\/libGL.so.1\n<\/pre>\nI went to the directory where Second Life installs itself (the install.sh script tells you where this is when you run it. And I edited the script called SecondLife. I changed this line:<\/p>\n
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"$PWD\/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}\"<\/pre>\nTo this:<\/p>\n
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"$PWD\/lib:\/usr\/lib32\/mesa:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}\"<\/pre>\nNote that \/usr\/lib32\/mesa is one of the results I got from running find. It’s the one that seems to be 32 bit.
\nAfter I fixed that, it opened (and popped a warning saying my computer is underpowered, which I assume is another library issue. I have NO IDEA what to do about this. Will update if and when I figure it out.
\nI know what you’re thinking. and the answer is that the network is the computer. And the live coding is the music. and SecondLiveCoding is the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When I tried to run Second Life’s beta release on linux, from the command line, I got the following error: 64-bit Linux detected.
