I'm having significant difficulties installing nGhost 0.94.4 on opensuse 10.2 x86_64.

I first attempted to install from source following the instructions that came with it, installing all of the dependencies. At first it would not configure but I managed to fix that. Make dies a horribly painful death giving errors left right and center.

I then decided to run the executable from the command line because it gives a more decipherable error message than make. What I don't understand is that the executable was giving errors for libraries or shared somethings that it couldn't find - even though they were installed. Updating the library to the same version that was already installed made the error message go away and I could move on to the next one until i got to "error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" reinstalling the package SDL-image did not fix the error - i'm certain that this file is installed however.

I'm at a loss of how to install this. All the dependencies have different names are not quite equivalent under openSUSE so the dependency list is not 100% correct for me. I fixed most things by installing every relevant development package.

You might have already tried this, when compiling make sure you have the dev libraries installed for sdl (libsdl-dev, libsdl-image-dev, libtag-dev, and libsdl-ttf-dev). what versions of SDL to you have installed?

run an ldd and list the output:

I'm no expert at suse so maybe someone else can jump in...

*update* I'm downloading opensuse so I'll soon find out exactly how to get it installed...

I ran the command in the folder containing the precompiled nGhost and got:

Searching for a package in Yast the provides the missing libraries above i get:

libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 provided by SDL_image (i have version 1.2.5-24 installed)
libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0 provided by SDL_ttf (i have version 2.0.8-25 installed)
libSDL-1.2.so.0 provided by SDL and SDL-32bit (i have SDL 1.2.11-22 installed)
libaudio.so.2 provided by libaudio (not installed - going to install version 1.8-0.pm.1)
libslang.so.2 provided by slang and slang-32bit (slang 2.0.5-32 installed)

I attempted to compile again after installing libaudio - no luck. I tried running the precompiled binary after installing available 32bit version - also no luck.

I would try maybe creating symbolic links for the libraries that you are missing and put them in /usr/lib with the others.

we shouldn't ship pre-compiled binaries..and if they should statically be linked.
could these problems result from us having both debian systems on our dev-boxes which sometimes have a seperate subfolder for the libs? (mysql/mysql.h instead of mysql.h, same with libtag)

i suggest all people switch to debian-based systems :P

my vision of the perfect world would involve everyone running a debian based system. But you can't expect everyone to be perfect
