Grid Wars libstdc++.so.5

[kooldino]

I got Grid Wars 2 from: http://gridwars.marune.de/bin/gridwars_lin.zip

When I try to run it, I get the following error:

libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I have the libstdc++6 package installed.

libstdc++-so.5 is in the package libstdc++5 - not libstdc++6 :)
So a simple sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 should get you going to enjoy this great game.

Can they co-exsist? I just assumed that 6 was a newer version of 5 and that there would be a conflict between the two.

Yes, they can. They have different files and can exist side-by-side.

Awesome, I'll give it a whirl and report back.

libstdc++5 installed fine...now when I go to run it, I get the following:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 134 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
Value in failed request: 0x137
Serial number of failed request: 43
Current serial number in output stream: 46

Could be that the resolution it using is not supported in your xorg.conf. either add it or change the resolution of the game (most games have a .ini/.conf file hidden in your home folder.

I'll give that a shot.
