I am trying to play the Linux version of Bean’s Quest purchased from the Humble Store. I extracted the tar file but I get the following error when trying to run the game:
error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2 cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Is there a way to resolve this dependency?
I also tried installing the Windows .msi version as a non steam game but the msi just exits when I open it and proton is greyed out when trying to select it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
For Arch/Manjaro/SteamOS :
sudo pacman -Syu libxrandr
For Debian/Ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install libxrandr2
Yeah, but with steamOS being immutable you can’t install stuff from pacman without unlocking it first.
True. But the only other way I can think of is to extract the Arch packages and add the libs too
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
, which might end up being more trouble than it’s worth because you’d likely need the libraries from libxrandr’s dependencies as well. For example addingexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/foo/lib:/home/myself/lib
to .bashrc
I haven’t messed around with it much, but I wonder if you could use an overlay like rwfus to install the libs.
Apon your referral, I’ve read the source files for rwfus.
I believe it would work, however I’d highly recommend against it. If you do try it, use it with the utmost care. It has some flaws; I mean if the warning inREADME.md
wasn’t obvious enough, lol.
