Not sure if it's the cause, but there was a problem with ioQuake3 and OpenAL versions on Ubuntu 8.10. ioQuake3 wanted to access /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0, which was available with earlier releases of Ubuntu, but Ubunto 8.10 instead uses a more recent version that installs to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1. The solution is to make a symlink (as root):
- Code: Select all
# ln -s /usr/lib/openal.so.0 /usr/lib/openal.so.1
Give that a try, I don't know if you're having the same problem since you're running Arch and it's not ioQuake3, but that might fix it!
(EDIT): just re-read your last post and it looks like the above won't be much help, but I'll leave it up there in case it helps someone...
If you're getting an error saying that you already have /usr/lib/openal.so.0, it might be worth looking at it using "ls -lh /usr/lib/openal.so.0" (e.g. to see if it's a symlink to another file), and maybe removing it and trying again to install the package version.
