Phun Beta 4 on Ubuntu 8.04 Problems

[reformer81]

I'm trying to get the Phun Beta 4 (http://phun.cs.umu.se/wiki) working in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. The issue is that it complains about missing libraries. The first was libglew. So I followed advice from a site (can't remember which, sorry) that suggested creating a symlink to an older version of the library. Now I get the following error when running phun:

./phun.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this?

Hmm... been all over the place looking for the solution to this. No one seems to know.

Easy enough. Here we go:

1. Open Synaptic and make sure you have 'libboost-filesystem1.34.1' installed.

2. Open a root file browser and go to '/usr/lib/'.

3. Find 'libboost_filesystem-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1', right click and 'Make Link'.

4. Rename this link 'libboost_filesystem.so'.

5. Enjoy Phun.
