Sim City 3000 Unlimited glibc 2.1 issue

**rottenart** · April 20th, 2010

Hi everyone. I am running Karmic, just to get that out of the way.

I just got a copy of SC3KU for Linux. I tried installing it every way I can find but always get the same error:

Code:

This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86

I tried the loki installer from here: http://www.liflg.org/
The Loki Installer starts fine but won't recognize the cd when in the cdrom. It doesn't recognize a mounted iso either.

I have a feeling that it would be a relatively easy change to the code of setup.sh to have it see the newer version of glibc rather than fail, but I just don't know what needs to change. I'm happy to provide any information that anyone might need.

It's so frustrating because I have read some people get it working just fine! Thanks in advance for any help at all! I'm at your mercy!

Ok, I think it might be that the iso image I burned is not the right name for the installer to recognize? Is there a way to specify a title for a burned iso disc? I beleive this would all wrap up nicely if the loki installer would just recognize the damn cd, but so far... nada.

So... I used iso master to copy and make a new iso image, burned that to disk but I noticed the title was not there. It read as just blank. I am completely at a loss. I'm also a little surprised the multitude of gamers on here have not yet weighed in. I guess I'm being impatient, but... geez? surely someone got this gd game to work and can help out a little?

Psssh. It's pointless. I've tried every single lead, tip, HOWTO, guide, installer and trick I can find for more than 7 hours. It's really amazing to me that this is such a difficult install with a native linux release. As it stands, I'm going to just set up a dual boot machine with xp, which is absolutely ridiculous, but... there it is.

Why, oh why can't we just have simple, straightforward gaming on linux? I HATE the fact that I have to use a POS M$ product, but I don't really have much choice. what's really silly is that I really only play 2 games: Civ and Simcity... neither will work with Ubuntu no matter what I try.

*sigh* I won't have the system redone until probably later this week. If anyone, ANYONE has any ideas on how to make the vercakta SC3U run, pleeeease let me know.
