Return to Castle Wolfenstein

[rsulli55]

I downloaded the Return to Castle Wolfenstein single player demo and installed it fine, but it won't run. This is what I get.

32 or 64bit system? what happens when you run glxinfo? what about glxgears?

[rsulli55]

32, when I run glxgears a program pops out showing working gears, and when I do glx info I get.

odd, because it looks like RTCW is trying to load mesa...

...loading libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.1: QGL_Init: Can't load libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.1 from /etc/ld.so.conf or current dir: /usr/local/games/wolfenstein-spdemo/libMesaVoodooGL.so.3.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
failed.

Out of curiosity, do you have libgl1-mesa installed? I'm not sure why it's trying to load it, but make sure you have that installed.

[rsulli55]

Sorry, but how would I install that?
EDIT: Nevermind. This is what I get.
ryan@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa

Anyone?

Wolf can't find libGL.so. For some reason it's named "libGL.so.1.2" in Ubuntu.
Just create a link to it with the name Wolf wants.

In terminal:
sudo ln /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so

[forrestcupp]

install the libGL dev files

I'm trying the same thing when I get home again. Did it work? I think you are missing some packages pkg files from the original cd even though it says it's a demo.

This thread is old but I did want to add this. When installing the game using the procedure in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein you may run into an issue where the startup fails while listing the GL_EXTENSIONS for the driver.

The problem is that the format string buffer that prints the GL_EXTENSIONS is too small to contain the enormous number of extensions in later drivers. What I did was to edit (yes edit, with vim) the startup program /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/wolfsp.x86

I changed the string "GL_EXTENSIONS: %s" to be this "GL_EXTENSIONS: s". Note that quotations are not part of the string. The percent symbol simply becomes a space. No other change should be made, just change this one character.

Before you change the file, make a backup copy.

I don't post very often but I am not a Linux/Ubuntu newbie.
