Cataclysm-dda: Linux - error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.1.so.0

Created on 2 Feb 2014  路  4Comments  路  Source: CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA

Downloaded Linux Graphical Experimental build 732,

scottm@Narn /o/cataclysmdda> ./cataclysm-launcher 
./cataclysm: error while loading shared libraries: liblua5.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Running Lubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) - tried sudo apt-get install lua5.1:

scottm@Narn /o/cataclysmdda> locate liblua5.1.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.1.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.1.so.0.0.0

And then I tried symlinking it into the game's folder (/opt/cataclysmdda) but without effect.

Any pointers?

Yep that worked. Cheers.

This didn't work for me however on Fedora 20???

I think you want the 'compat-lua' package, and I think you might have to do
some fiddling with library symlinks because that package didn't update the
library finder package properly...
