Error starting demo

[linforcer]

Hey,

I'd very much like to check out the demo of this game to see if I'd want to purchase it, but right now I am unable to start it. I got my version of the demo from greenhouse games. Here's some output.

dual4cer eschalon_book_1 # ./Eschalon_Book_I
./Eschalon_Book_I: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dual4cer eschalon_book_1 # equery files curl | grep libcurl

dual4cer lib # ls | grep libcurl

libcurl.so.4.0.1

Any idea why the game doesn't find my libcurl installation?

Just saw another thread about a different problem where the solution was installing the 32-bit libstdc++, so I guess I need a 32-bit libcurl...?

EDIT: none of the emul-linux library packages seem to include libcurl, so I guess I'll just have to write off trying out the game. stuff sucks. (because I sure as hell don't feel like unpacking some rpm from some other distro)

did u ever bother to try the demo avalable on basiliskgames site? the version on basilisk site does not use libcurl, at least not the full version anyways.

guess I'll give it a go. downloading now.

That worked. In conclusion, I like the game, but not enough.
