Black screen, cursor - jorge - 07-18-2009

The program worked fine the first run, but then it stopped working. Now all I get is a black screen with a low-res cursor that crashes X.

ldd penumbra.bin gives:
............
libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0xb7d8f000)
libCg.so => not found
libCgGL.so => not found
libopenal.so.1 => not found
libalut.so.0 => not found
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7c9f000)
.................
, while lib/ contains all four missing files. Yes, Urkl, everything is up to date. Where can I tell penumbra to look in that path?
Thanks.

the penumbra scripts sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for you to include the ./lib directory.

what linux distro?
what video card?
what is your favorite color? (uh. sorry :-D )


Anyways easy way to see what libs the game will REALLY launch with is to do this.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib ldd ./penumbra.bin
OH and include your hpl.log from the .frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overutre directory (in your home)
