.x86 file not executing
I've tracked down a game named superhot and downloaded zipped Linux version. I unzipped it and there was a directory named SUPERHOT-LINUX_Data and file with extension .x86. I went to properties and ticked "can execute". But the file still doesn't start. All i can see is bunch of processes starting upon clicking on that file. Their names starts with unity.
Should i install some libraries or something?
Thanks for advice
Edit: I've tried as damien said and mono installed successfully, but still nothing. Then i tried running that file from terminal:
$ ./SUPERHOT-LINUX.x86
and it returned:
./SUPERHOT-LINUX.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I guess something is missing?
Solution 1:
I solved by installing these libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386
You can print shared library dependencies with:
$ ldd SUPERHOT-LINUX.x86
Solution 2:
Yes, your system lacks that library (libGLU
). In this case it is available in the repositories so you just need to run
$ sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa
If you find similar errors you can try to find the needed package using apt-file
. In this case, to search packages that have the file libGLU.so.1
:
$ apt-file search libGLU.so.1
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1.3.08000
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1.3.08004
