I'm trying to run df natively under a new gentoo machine, and I think I'm missing something. Double clicking the file tells me it's an executable text file (a bash script), asking me if I want to view its contents, run it, or run it in a terminal. I run it in terminal, of course, but I get this error:

Code: [Select]

jdoe@Tux ~/downloads/df_linux $ ./df
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryDo I need sdl in the libs directory or something? And if I do, where do i get it?

'emerge libsdl' (Downloading sdl through the package manager) does nothing.

Yes you need a library (you will need that library a lot anyway, if I'm not mistaken.)
Use your package manager to get it, I think.
I don't know which one is used by gentoo, and how it work, so I can't help you any further.

[ILikePie]

Well, I think libsdl is the one, it said so in the description, but it still doesn't work.

[Phmcw]

No, I don't know which package manager Gentoo use.

So you installed lidsdl?
Is it the right version? Hmm. There is a lot of those in the package manager (a lot of thing that begin by libsdl. You're sure that
libsdl-image1.2 is installed?

[HideousBeing]

Install sdl-image. It is separate from the base sdl.

^ is probably the right package. If you are on a 64bit install tho, then you will need to build a 32bit version of that, or use a chroot.

[Phmcw]

I think you should type
emerge libsdl-image1.2
or
emerge sdl-image-1.2.10

[ILikePie]

emerge sdl-image did the trick, thanks guys.


Now to set up sound...
