My favorite game, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is unable to play due to missing dependencies. I know that it is not a very popular game, but if anyone has any insight into this throw me a heads up.
./cataclysm-bn-tiles: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_mixer-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
also:
./cataclysm: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Moved to Support category
Please post your code as code.
The following should fix the issue
sudo dnf install lib64ncurses6 lib64SDL2_mixer
Also, is this a OM package? If so, what’s the package name? I’d like to make sure these are added to the dependencies.
@StudebakerGuy It looks to be a Steam game.
Although it is available on Steam, I usually play form the klatest experimental builds at Experimental Builds.
All the game devs have to do is list those dependencies and it would have grabbed them on install. You should put in a bug report with them.
Those two packages installed, but now I am getting: ./cataclysm-bn-tiles
./cataclysm-bn-tiles: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And wheh I try to install the nissing dependency:
]$ sudo dnf install libSDL2_image

No match for argument: libSDL2_image
Error: Unable to find a match: libSDL2_image
I enebled all the repos including restricted and nonfree and tried again:
sudo dnf install libSDL2_image
OpenMandriva Rolling - x86_64 4.0 kB/s | 2.4 kB 00:00
OpenMandriva Rolling - Extra - x86_64 920 kB/s | 1.4 MB 00:01
OpenMandriva Rolling - Restricted - x86_64 19 kB/s | 24 kB 00:01
OpenMandriva Rolling - Non-free - x86_64 29 kB/s | 30 kB 00:01
No match for argument: libSDL2_image
Error: Unable to find a match: libSDL2_image
I’m sure there will be other dependencies that are missing after this one is resolved.
TO answer your question, Cataclysm-dda is not in an OM package.
I installed : FlatDrake is a frontend for FlatPak
Cataclysm is included there, so that is where I will install it from.
If you install the flatpak version, it should include everything it needs. I still think you should file a bug report on their github. GitHub · Where software is built
Thanks.
I’ll do that
sudo dnf install lib64SDL2_image
If you’re missing any further SDL2 libraries, you can get the list with
dnf search lib64SDL2
Let me know if you’re missing anything else and I’ll see what I can do to help.
