Very excited to try the Linux version. When I run ootp9 from the command line I get:

ootp9: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, this library is installed:

~$ locate mysqlclient

BYW I run ubuntu hardy.

I am runnign Ubuntu 8.10 but I have no idea what silly name that it. I am a bit stumped by this one. All I can think is maybe you dont have enough rights to access that file. Try this and see if you get errors:

cat /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 > /dev/null

If you get an error then you have not got rights to read that file. If you dont get an error then I dont have a clue whats happening. Anyone else got any ideas here?

[aboe]

Thanks for getting back. I'm on ubuntu 8.04. I ran the cat command and got the same error. It's true that I had no permissions on the file, so I did chown. But trying ootp9 again after that I got the same error.

[pisdpaul]

I am out of ideas now I am afraid. I am sure I could work it out if I was in front of the machine but remotely I dont know where to go next. Would you be happy to setup an ssh login for me as a std user so I can try to debug your problem? If you are then private message me the login details.

Failing that I can only appeal to others on the list that may have a good idea what to check next. Anyone?

I have installed Linux Knoppix 6.0.1 on an 8 gig usb drive and am able to boot my laptop with it and run linux. (I cannot install linux to my laptop hardrive as I do not have admin rights). I was able to install and run ootp9 with no problems after I installed it and did not do a reboot. I did not purchase it yet. Once I reboot the ootp program is non existent. Do I have to purchase it first so it is not wiped out when I terminate linux or am I missing something with linux?

This has nothing to do with OOTP9. However there a few things you can check for me.

1) is it a USB drive or a USB flash stick?
2) Are you running a Knoppix version designed for USB keys or a standard disk install?
3) please type the command "mount" on the command line a post me the results.

Cheers

2. Knoppix designed to be installed to a flash drive.

I may be that this KNoppix is not saving data. I am going to try and save bookmarks and reboot to see if they are saved. I am in the process of downloading a Kubunto 8.10 and install it via Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux

BTW, If I get this to work this will be great Right now having played 00tp5 and going to ootp9 and then 10 is a big improvement thanks for the help

Ok I found out that when Linux starts there is a question on how large a file I want to store data. I needed to put a large size like 900MB so the game can be saved. This seems to work for now. Thanks for your input.

easy question guys... downloaded and installed the linux version and all runs well... except for the missing data base error. I seen a few posts ago the script to run and fix the error, but.... how do you "run" the script in the directory? I'm very new to linux... thanks in advance for your help!

Paste the contents of the 'script' into a text file.
Place the text file into the directory that holds your database.
Change the permissions to the text file to make sure it is executable (i.e. chmod 755 textfile)
Execute the text tile (.i.e ./textfile)
