Segmentation fault after configuration screens [SOLVED]

[SirAlaran]

Hello. I ran into a somewhat nasty bug, which I solved myself. I've created this thread to share the fix with everyone. Note. This applies to the 64-bit Linux version. It may or may not apply to the 32-bit Linux version.

Symptoms:

1. The Frictional Games logo doesn't show up when you first start the game.
   
2. The screens that give you an introduction to the game and ask you to adjust the gamma settings have no background images.
   
3. The game segfaults after you click through the intro screens.
   
4. You get a backtrace from GDB similar to the one below:

Solution
Copy your system's IL library over the one in installDirectory/Amnesia/libs64/libIL.so.1. In my case it was located at /usr/lib/libIL.so.1.1.0. Once you do this, the game should start.
