openSUSE 11.2 & Penumbra Overture

[zimzum]

the game installs without errors, but the game wont launch from the shortcut.
when I run the game from the terminal this is the output:

Code: (Select All)

jon@linux-4voj:~/PenumbraOverture> sh penumbra

for any error messages
Also try running
ulimit -c unlimited
And re-running Penumbra and try and recreate the error
then submit the generated core file or stack trace

I did check hpl.log and the last line is:

This was part of the Humble Bundle.

Try using your system installed version of openal instead of the distributed version of OpenAL.. (by removing libopenal from the game directories lib directory ). Also probably remove libvorbis, lbvorbisfile and libogg so you use your distributions version of those libraries as well.

Make sure to use OpenAL-Soft's implementation of OpenAL (most current distributions use this version anyway).

Really nearly all of the libraries in the lib directory can be removed except for fltk, and Cg (possibly alut) as the rest are nearly always provided on a current linux distribution.

Removing libopenal, libvorbis, llibvorbisfile and libogg was enough to get the game to run. Thanks for the quick reply, I didn't expect a response over the weekend.

[edit] Rebooting fixed.

Very similar issue:

I have removed those libs you mentioned and checked they are installed. I am running 32-bit Lucid Lynx.
