snes9x missing libpng14.so.14

[Xodetaetl]

This is the snes9x error message:

/home/ovo/.local/share/lutris/runners/snes9x-1.53/snes9x-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

May be related, this error when installing snes9x:

File "/media/data/Création/Programmation/Programmes/Lutris/lutris/lutris/runners/snes9x.py", line 139, in install
    os.link(lib_abspath, lib_abspath[:-5])
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

yes, this is a known bug, I haven't compiled libpng14 for i386 yet. The other error message is a side effect of the lib not being available.

[Xodetaetl (ovocean)]

i386 ? I don't what you compiled it for then, but I'm on x86_64 Xubuntu.

[Mathieu Comandon (strycore)]

Oh, ok then it was a problem with how the architecture was returned on different distribuitons, it should be fixed now

[Mathieu Comandon (strycore)]

And the 32 bit version of the lib is available now, closing.

[Xodetaetl (ovocean)]

Grabbed your last commit and deleted the snes9x folder but I still get the same errors.

[Mathieu Comandon (strycore)]

Of course, that was silly of me. I wrote a function to access the machine's architecture but didn't use it in snes9x installer. Should be ok now.

[Xodetaetl (ovocean)]

Still no better, sorry ! :)

[Xodetaetl (ovocean)]

Btw, in the lib sub-folder of snes9x there is "libpng14.so.14.12.0", while it's looking for "libpng14.so.14" ?

[Xodetaetl (ovocean)]

Yep, works by chaning the lib's filename to libpng14.so.14.

[Mathieu Comandon (strycore)]

There should be symlinks in the same folder with the correct names

snes9x.py:
122 logger.debug("Creating lib symlinks")
123 os.link(lib_abspath, lib_abspath[:-5])
124 os.link(lib_abspath, lib_abspath[:-8])

Obviously ,something is not working properly. I shall investigate this evening.

[Mathieu Comandon (strycore)]

Should work now

[Xodetaetl (ovocean)]

Yes it does ! :)
