No sound on Linux after upgrade to OpenAL 1.13

[longshanks197]

I ran into an issue on my Debian i386 linux laptop running the released (Build 376). I had no sound. Log file had the following:

===========================
I had OpenAL 1.13 installed. I downgraded to 1.12 and the sound issue is resolved.I noticed that the Debian package moved libopenal.so.1 from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

I reinstalled 1.13 and put a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 and sound works as expected.

Is this a static link in the program? Nevertheless, this appears to be a temporary solution.

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look at getting this fixed in a latter update.

I've updated the Linux Myth II 1.7.2 build, which now has this fixed.

I have a very similar problem running latest Ubuntu Saucy 13.10 64bit and Myth II demo 1.8

Closing Myth.

I've installed libopenal1 and symlinking /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1.14.0 to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 or /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 doesn't work.
Any advice?

Also I had similar issue with libglu:

Code: Select all

error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1

Solved symlinking.

Myth is a 32 bit app, so you'll need to make sure that you symlink to 32 bit libraries. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1.14.0 looks like 64 bit based on the x86_64 part
