OpenXcom scm version doesn't start

[32bits]

Hello guys,

I've compiled the scm version of OpenXcom game. When I run it I receive the following message:
"

Code: [Select]

Error:
/usr/share/openxcom/data/Language/FontBi

Make sure you installed OpenXcom
correctly.
Check the requirements and
documentation for more details.

Press any key to quit"
Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
Please look at the screenshot in the attachment and let me know if you need additional info.

Thank you in advance

It seems I found the reason of failure:

but I have a newer version of libpng package:

Code: [Select]

sudo cave show libpng

Place the entire game folder content in the 'data' folder of your OXC installation/compilation.

See if it works like that.

kkmic, the reason in the libpng package. I've downgraded to the 1.5 version and openxcom starts perfectly but, unfortunately, it broke other packages in my system :-( So the question is: is it possible to compile openxcom with libpng 1.6 version?

[kkmic]

Sorry, I've read your post in a hurry.

It may simply be the case of a wrong file name, and not of some incompatibility between versions.

Try restoring the 1.6 version of libpng and then create a symbolic link from the 1.6 libpng.so to the "missing" libpng15.so.15 library.

[32bits]

Well, I've created symlink but I had no success in the OpenXcom launch. Here is the output:

Code: [Select]

openxcom
libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.5.17 but running with 1.6.9

Any suggestions?

[32bits]

Ok, I successfully launched openxcom after rebuilding the following dependencies:
dev-libs/yaml-cpp
media-libs/SDL
media-libs/SDL_gfx
media-libs/SDL_image
media-libs/SDL_mixer
x11-dri/glu
x11-dri/mesa

I thinks, we can close this topic
Thanks

Great!


BTW, welcome to the community!
