    Question Playonlinux dos games not working.

    I try to play Blood from gog but I keep getting this to my debugger "- Running wine-1.4-dos_support_0.5 BLOOD.EXE (Working directory : /home/sarys/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/OneUnitWholeBlood_gog/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/One Unit Whole Blood)
    Dosbox front-end for PlayOnLinux
    [PlayOnLinux] Working in /home/sarys/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/OneUnitWholeBlood_gog
    [PlayOnLinux] Detecting program directory to run: C:\Program Files\GOG.com\One Unit Whole Blood
    [POL_LoadVar_ScreenResolution] Message: Screen width: 1366
    [POL_LoadVar_ScreenResolution] Message: Screen height: 768
    DOSBox: error while loading shared libraries: libvorbis.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

    what's the problem? I get similar error when trying to play gog Master of orion 1 and 2.

    Give us more details about your system.
    1. Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
    2. Are you running 64-bit or 32-bit?
    3. Have you made any changes to your system?
    4. What happens when you open a terminal and type the following:
    Code:
    ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvorbis.so.*

    3. I have no idea what you mean.
    4. :~$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvorbis.so.*

    I think we're getting somewhere. What do you get when you type the following?
    Code:
    ls /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvorbis.so.*

    Strange. It looks like you have the correct 32-bit version of libvorbis installed. Just for grins, have you tried the following in a terminal?
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

    I gave it a try and it installed something "NEW" so I guess I didn't have something.

    EDIT: odd it said that it failed to intall something but it fixed the problem

    The next step would be to try to run the game from dosbox directly, without using POL.
