missing libGL.so in SL 3.4e [Solved]

pajamabama · Post by **pajamabama** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 3:08

On the live dvd of SL 3.4e Second Life and Goolgle Earth won't launch because libGL.so is missing.

[email protected] ~ $ googleearth
./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[email protected] ~ $ secondlife-bin
bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any ideas? Thanks.

also, Compiz seems to work perfectly.

So install it?

Your talking about libglade right?

I don't think libglade is involved. libGL.so is the OpenGL library right? And libglade generates gui's?

And it makes sense that both Google Earth and Second Life would need OpenGL. I'm not sure they'd need dynamically generated gui's.

The other questions though are how does Compiz work? And, why isn't that library there? Maybe those apps are looking for another version of it?

update:

Warsow does work. How is that? Why do some OpenGL apps work, and othes don't?

from the console output while running Warsow:

Code: Select all

Using libGL.so.1 for OpenGL...Display initialization

What's the output of:

Code: Select all

eselect opengl show

the output is 'nvidia' in my case... having the same issue on my installed 3.4e x64.

Code: Select all

emerge emul-linux-x86-xlibs (for x86-64) && eselect opengl set xorg-x11 && eselect opengl set nvidia

My 3.4e-64 is on HD, and Google Earth does not start.

The command fails:

Code: Select all



SABAYON ~ # emerge emul-linux-x86-xlibs (for x86-64) && eselect opengl set xorg-x11 && eselect opengl set nvidia
-su: syntax error near unexpected token `('

You have to remove the "(for x86-64)" from the code

(and delete the part in front of it also when you do not own the x64 version)

@lxnay, thanks but still the same output when starting googleearth.

Code: Select all

sabayonx86-64 ~ # eselect opengl show
nvidia

got this while remerging emul-linux-x86-xlibs:

Code: Select all

...

the other two commands appear to have finished normally. But, Google Earth still fails in the same way.

One thing I'm seeing that may or may not be relevant is that the file that failed during emerge was libGL.so.1.2
Google Earth fails looking for libGL.so.1

Does this mean something?
