Grappling Hokk Linux demo - no sound.

[Jusko]

Hi.

I've just downloaded Grappling Hook demo, but i don't have sound (libopenal is installed). Log from console says nothing about this issue:

./start.sh
levels_normal.sav does not exist!
extra_levels_normal.sav does not exist!

Welcome,

What is the name and version of your operation system?
What is the version of "libopenal" have you installed?

Best regards,
Christian

Well...i was forced to switch from Fedora to Ubuntu 8.04 (ATi proprietary drivers works on this Ubuntu - i have legacy ATi X1250).

So:

Operating system is Ubuntu 8.04 and name of the of this libs is libopenal0a 1:0.0.8-7 (maybe old, but this is Long Term Support version of Ubuntu).

This OpenAL-Version is very old.
Probably there where some major changes in the library or the name of the library has changed.
Grappling Hook is looking for a library called "libopenal.so.1" or "libopenal.so.0".

I test every Grappling Hook version on Ubuntu 9.10 to verify everything is fine.
The recommended libopenal1 version on Ubuntu 9.10 is 1:1.8.466-2.
This is also quite old ( current version is 1.11.753), but I can assure that Grappling Hook works with it.

I hope this information helps.

Code:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1

solved my problem and i hear "Welcome in the Grappling Hook"  Thanks for the tip
