Mint 16 / Ubuntu 13.10

[Guppy]

open a console in the leadwerks dir, before running launcher / install.sh

 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

 

(shouldn't matter but it did)

 

 

 

./Launcher

 

press Y and wait as some 300mb legacy packages is downloaded and installed

 

 

sudo apt-get install unity-gtk2-module

 

Now you can start leadwerks but it will crash on almost all menues - to fix that

 

mkdir -p badlib
cd badlib
wget "http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.46-3ubuntu4_i386.deb"
dpkg -x libpng12-0_1.2.46-3ubuntu4_i386.deb .
cd ..

 

It can look a little offputting but it simply

• creates a new directory "badlib"
  
• enters "badlib"
  
• downloads an old version of the affected library
  
• extracts it locally
  
• changes back to the leadwerks dir
  

after that run leadwerks ( every time ) as

 

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=badlib/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ ./Leadwerks

 

you can create a bash file for that - but hopefully the bug will be fixed soon™

Just tried this on my mint16, works as a charm, thanks Guppy!

 

How did you figure out that it was libpng missing?

The backtrace always stopped in a png
