I am trying to play the Linux version of Bean’s Quest purchased from the Humble Store. I extracted the tar file but I get the following error when trying to run the game:
error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2 cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Is there a way to resolve this dependency?
I also tried installing the Windows .msi version as a non steam game but the msi just exits when I open it and proton is greyed out when trying to select it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
For the windows .msi version, you might try installing it on a windows computer and then copy the install directory over to the deck. Then you can add the executable to steam as a non-steam game, and force proton through the “force compatibility tool” menu.
I believe the libXrandr.so.2 library can normally be installed on Arch by installing the libxrandr package, but I’m not sure how to install that on SteamOS without unlocking the filesystem.
Installing the msi to a windows machine, copying the files and running the executable with proton did the trick! Thank you so much!
For Arch/Manjaro/SteamOS :
sudo pacman -Syu libxrandrFor Debian/Ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install libxrandr2Yeah, but with steamOS being immutable you can’t install stuff from pacman without unlocking it first.
True. But the only other way I can think of is to extract the Arch packages and add the libs too
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which might end up being more trouble than it’s worth because you’d likely need the libraries from libxrandr’s dependencies as well. For example addingexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/foo/lib:/home/myself/libto .bashrc
I haven’t messed around with it much, but I wonder if you could use an overlay like rwfus to install the libs.
Apon your referral, I’ve read the source files for rwfus.
I believe it would work, however I’d highly recommend against it. If you do try it, use it with the utmost care. It has some flaws; I mean if the warning inREADME.mdwasn’t obvious enough, lol.
