ok now I have added the error that stepmania produces incase anyone has a solution for that

Code:

thanatosys@darkstar:~/software/StepMania-3.9-rc3$ ./stepmania
./stepmania: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
thanatosys@darkstar:~/software/StepMania-3.9-rc3$

and i have no idea where to get that module and i am executing this in the directory in which i extracted the file.

lua is a scripting language... have you tried apt-get install liblua? or just lua?

i have installed every package in the ubuntu repositories, universe, and multiverse and still not working so it is not a package issue i think it is the way its coded, any fixes/ideas?

How did you do that?

Code:

# aptitude install ~g.*

Aptitude seems to have scalability problems with this (takes very long time). This might be better:

Code:

# aptitude -F "%p" search ~g . | sort | uniq | xargs aptitude install

Did you have to do lots of --force-xxx ? How much diskspace did it take?

i ment the lua ones lol

**tommy04** · July 4th, 2005

I'd suggest asking for support on installing Stepmania, as it's MUCH better then pyDance.

lol

A few tips.

* Check that you have the file:
# dpkg -S liblua.so

* Try to re-run ldconfig
# ldconfig
# pydance

* Try to use auto-apt to get packages for files that is needed but not found:
# aptitude update && aptitude install auto-apt
# auto-apt update
# auto-apt run pydance
