[SOLVED] OALD7 installation on Ubuntu 10.04!

:D Well.. . as crazy as if sounds .. . I finally managed to Break the Code! :P


IF you-don't-follow-my-blogs OR you-don't-remember-stuff THEN
URL.refer (http://mrdigerati.blogspot.com/2010/02/this-is-what-i-did-on-v-day.html)
:-) 


oops!
END IF;
// Yeah Some PL/SQL *HIT I'm into these days.  Sucks?


Anyway! Coming to the point. I looked for answers like almost everywhere and couldn't really find even one...! Finally I went deep and mined some stuff, similar issues that the gamers were facing. Hail Loki.


ISSUES:
#1 (regular usage)

$ ./installation.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing ..........................
This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86_64

#2 (using x86 emulation)
$ linux32 ./installation.sh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing ..........................
/home/nikunj/.setup5913: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load 'atal'
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1

Both the times it said:
Please contact Loki Technical Support at support@lokigames.com
The program returned an error code (1).





Anyway. 'linux32' should've ideally worked but .. . . there was more.




WHAT I DID TO MAKE OALD7 run:


#1. To run 32-bit apps on 64-bit Linux, you first need to install these prerequisite packages:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-sdl dpkg-dev


#2. Then I downloaded the i386 package from the Ubuntu site.
libGTK1.2: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libgtk1.2/download


#3. Deflate (Unzip/Un... hmm... Deb?) the libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb (right-click and extract) and then go inside the folder hence created. Deflate data.tar.gz and go inside ./usr,
$ cd libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386/usr/lib (in short)


#4. Now we need to copy the files (lib? Modules?) to the location where OALD7 desires to find it!
$ sudo cp -v -i * /usr/lib32


#5. Try installation now. [ERROR. still?]
(Even after that another library was required)


$ linux32 ./installation.sh 

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing ..........................
/home/nikunj/.setup6372: error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load 'atal'
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1

#6. Then I downloaded two i386 packages for the Ubuntu site.



Follow the same procedure (#3-5) for libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb


:D and voilĂ  .. . :P this is what you get! Don't kill me :P


Looks Kinda...  hmm....Nude!!

I don't know why but just couldn't see any TEXT :-| I closed my eyes, trusted my senses and from the last time I installed it without this 'Chick Chick'. Pushing the third Check-Box would save all the Sounds etc and makes it offline! :) DO THAT.

Finally :D ..... Legen --- wait for it ---- Dary!!!

Update:

Installation of OALD8 is easy! :P Quick.
