- Hey Ya'll :8
-

So i tried to do run a program form the CLI but got this

Code: Select all

/opt/gzdoom/gzdoom: error while loading shared libraries: libmpg123.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So does this mean I'm missing a library

All I know is .so files are like dll's and load when I execute a program they depend on.
_so I checked usr/local/lib but only have some Python stuff
__I also checked usr/lib but there's no gzdoom folder there or a folder for that library.
___I tried to

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install lib123.so.0

but got

Code: Select all

E: Unable to locate package libmpg123.so.0
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libmpg123.so.0'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libmpg123.so.0'

so I don't know.

___so I don't know. I think I'm missing a library, couldn't find info on this.
____any advice my mint peeps?

Do you have libmpg123-0:amd64 and libmpg123-0:i386 installed

The file that's giving you the error is a symlink to libmpg123.so.0.41.2

Code: Select all

[bill@XPS] ~/script $ l /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmpg123.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 27 19:07 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmpg123.so.0 -> libmpg123.so.0.41.2
[bill@XPS] ~/script $

I tried to look for it but couldn't find it so...no
_also, I tried to install it and got the errors I posted.
__what should I do with the code you gave me?

Hi "AmericanPi",

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

You do know that there are various "Doom" game options available in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) on your Linux Mint machine including those that allow you to install (or create and modify) "doom.wad" game files? Search for "Doom" in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM): "Doomsday", "Dhewm3", doom-wad-shareware, chocolate-doom, "freedoom", etc...

And, I see another post called "Fun with Doom2 and GZDoom"

Hope this helps ...

You seem to be confused.

We have already worked through and resolved my issue so there is no need for this information.

This is not relevant to this post which discusses missing libraries. Please only post relevant posts so as to not confuse readers.

Also irrelevant.

Thanks for giving it a try. Any contribution, however irrelevant, is appreciated.
