Need libGLU.so.1 and libopenal.so.0 for X-Plane 9

[Marcel_T]

I'm running Mint 19.3 Cinnamon on a Core 2 CPU. X-Plane 9 is the latest version I can run on it. The installer doesn't run. The installer for the X-Plane 10 demo does but runs so slowly as to be unplayable. On 9 I get the message that libGLU.so.1 and libopenal.so.0 are not found, and I haven't been able to find them. I used both the installer from the website and the one on the DVD.Can anyone please help me to install it? Checking for dependencies as per the manual gets me this;

I think you have a faulty installation of the mod.

Try a different version of the mod or a different build

[Marcel_T]

I don't understand what you mean by "the mod". Do you mean install a different version of Mint? X-Plane is on 6 DVDs and is the final version. I recently bought it from their website. I got it to run with PlayOnLinux. The frame rate is excellent but some buttons and previews don't display, preventing me from changing aircraft or scenery objects. I've had similar problems with FS9 and FSX. My understanding is that I need some 32 bit libraries for X-Plane 9 as it's an older version. I haven't found an Ubuntu repository for them. What I really need to do is get a newer computer but I can't afford it at the moment.

I have Linux 64bit , so I have 64 bit libs.

Code: Select all

$ apt-file search libGLU.so.1
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1.3.1

0 not found, but exist 1 ( version 1)

Code: Select all

$ apt-file search libopenal.so
libopenal-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so
libopenal1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1
libopenal1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1.19.1

You have three options:
1. Check the website for what it supports and use it.

2. Try to write to the developer. ( For example You can ask him if he can try write " portable " game / file / installer )
Portable games working because have all needed libs inside app.

3. Get it fixed by yourself.
3.1 For example you can try add symbolic link to new lib http://pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php/Symbolic_Links
It is simple and sometimes it works. But not always.
3.2 You can try compile older app. ( You can meet a hell of dependency. I mean meet more compilation applications to compile this one. )
You should know something else if you want try this.
This is a bit more complicated. This can be difficult especially if someone does not know how to build packages.
- We use a package system so that files can be easily removed from the system (in other words, managed).
- Renaming a package allows you to install unlimited versions of the same library.

Edit
I use Linux Mint 20.2 Uma maybe in your repository will what you need ?

Thanks for your reply. I've been busy with other stuff and haven't been gaming. I'll try your suggestions later and get back to you.
