Hey,

i'm currently tring to run the new version of the soldat dedicated server on my linux vRoot.
I downloaded the .zip and unzipped it, changed the adminpassword and port in the soldat.ini and uploaded on my vroot, after unzipping it i command "chmod 0775 soldatserver", and tried to run it with "./soldatserver -d" but i get every time this error:

Quote

./soldatserver: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm using Debian 5.0 + SysCP 1.4.2.1- 64 Bit .

Could someone help me? 264 still works great for my currently servers...

Quoting from #soldat.devs:

<BLah^> ./soldatserver: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<zakath> BLah^: cd /usr/lib/;ln -s libz.so.1 libz.so
<EnEsCe> BLah^, apt-get install zlib1g

Either of those solutions ought to work.

For future reference, it might be helpful if you mentioned what Linux distribution you're using for this.

***/soldat-0 # apt-get install zlib1g
-bash: apt-get: command not found
***/soldat-0 # cd /usr/lib/;ln -s libz.so.1 libz.so
lvps92-51-132-138:/usr/lib # ln -s libz.so.1 libz.so
ln: creating symbolic link `libz.so': File exists

so what

so what

which distribution? also it seems like you have the file already so should work anyways

rumpel · « **Reply #7 on:** May 26, 2009, 01:37:37 pm »

its suse, and no it does not work

jrgp · « **Reply #8 on:** May 26, 2009, 03:57:19 pm »

Since you're on Suse, Debian/Ubuntu's apt obviously won't work.

Run as root:
yum install zlib

Sauron · « **Reply #9 on:** May 30, 2009, 02:21:50 pm »

Debian:
1)update library
2)delete old "symbolic link" for this library
3)make new
4)start server

Code: [Select]

apt-get autoremove
apt-get install zlib1g
apt-get update
cd /usr/lib
rm libz.so
ln -s libz.so.1 libz.so

cd /(soldat server folder)
./soldatserver

jrgp · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2009, 04:05:15 pm »

Sauron, he already said he wasn't on Debian. He's on Suse, which uses yum, not apt. The other commands you mentioned are most likely relevant though.

And I already talked to rumpel, my command worked for him.

Sauron · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2009, 06:07:52 pm »

jrgp I wasn`t talking to him I was talking to all.This help me solve problem on Debian.

It's fun to use very complicated ways to make the server working. We're having lots of fun!

Thanks EnEsCe!

EDIT: Oh yeah, I tried those solutions which were shown at the topic but that didn't solve the problem.

It still says that "error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Clawbug · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:29:09 pm »

As MetsuriTossavainen described, for some the problem won't get solved even by installing and creating the symbolic link, doing the exact same which has been described in this thread.

EDIT: Actually the solution works, when the symbolic link is done in /usr/lib32 instead of /usr/lib.

MetsuriTossavainen · « **Reply #14 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:34:25 pm »

The lib-folder was just lib, no lib32/lib64 or anything like it.

But, I found out that "libz.so" in lib folder was "unreadable". Maybe that explanes the problem. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Clawbug · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2009, 06:03:10 pm »

Have you tried changing the file permissions?

The Tapsa · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2009, 10:22:17 am »

I even tried installing OS again but still it doesn't work.

Code: [Select]

$ /home/<my_username>/soldatserver265/soldatserver
bash: /home/<my_username>/soldatserver265/soldatserver: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole

and "Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole" means File or directory does not exist.

OS is Ubuntu 9.04 64bit.

EnEsCe · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2009, 10:57:11 am »

That is an irrelevant issue to the zlib problem. Please create your own topic Tapsa.

The Tapsa · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2009, 11:22:48 am »

By the way...Wine seems to cause the problem with libz.so.
When I install wine and try to run soldatserver I get the "error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file" message, but after uninstalling wine problem with libz.so disappeared too.

meneldil · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2009, 10:34:46 am »

Ok... I'll try to write a more universal guide...

Step 1
Making sure you have the newest package installed.

Debian-based systems:

Code: [Select]

apt-get update
apt-get install zlib1g

If it says you already have the newest version:

Code: [Select]

apt-get --reinstall install zlib1g

Red-Hat, Suse:

I never used yum, but try this:

Code: [Select]

yum install zlib1g

Now try to run your soldat server. If the problem remains, proceed to step 2.

Step 2
Creating a symbolic link to the library.

First, a good starting point would be checking the lib paths in your system.

In Ubuntu, you can find those in this text file:

Code: [Select]

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
Under Debian, as far as i remember, they should be in this file:

Code: [Select]

/etc/ld.so.conf
I have no clue about other distributions, you'll have to google that (try searching for "red-hat lib paths", replacing red-hat with your linux distribution name).

So, you should have one or more paths to lib folders. Start searching, you should find libz.so.1 in one of them. Once you're in a folder with this file, type:

Code: [Select]

ln -s libz.so.1 libz.so
Haven't found libz.so.1? Don't worry, I had the same problem. Carry on, there's still step 3...

Step 3
Desperate search for libz.so.1.

Still reading this? That probably means your zlib1g was installed in a folder that isn't included in your system's lib paths. Well, you just have to find libz.so.1. Check those folders:

Code: [Select]

/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib (though it shouldn't be there)

Not there? I didn't want to resort to this before (since it might take some time), but...:

Code: [Select]

find / -name 'libz*'
Once you have the path to your libz.so.1, add it to the file containing sys lib paths (the one i spoke about in step 2). Of course, don't include the file itself in the path (e.g. don't add "/lib/libz.so", but just "/lib").

If there's no libz.so in this folder, you have to create a symbolic link named libz.so (step 2).

So, that's it. I was writing this off the top of my head, so correct me if anything's wrong.
