====== Fixing Library Problems ======
===== When Running Baldur's Gate on Ubuntu Linux =====

After fixing an aggravating problem in getting Baldur's Gate ((the GOG version)) to [[linux:get_baldur_s_gate_running_on_fedora_linux|run on Fedora Linux]], I tried to do the same on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. The first problem I ran into was - after running ''start.sh'' - a message stating that ''./BaldursGate'' was not found. You can fix this problem by installing ''wine''.

<code>$ sudo apt install wine</code>

The second problem was a message stating: ''Unable to locate package libjson-cs.i386''.

Likely, you already have the 64-bit library installed, but since Baldur's Gate is a 32-bit game, it requires a 32-bit library. Solve this problem by running:

<code>$ sudo apt install libjson0:i386</code>

==== Update for Ubuntu 18.04 ====

It seems that the ''libjson0:i386'' package is no longer present in the 18.04 repositories. Fixing this problem is now similar to how I fixed it on Fedora. First, download the 32-bit library:

<code>sudo apt install libjson-c-dev:i386</code>

Next, open a Terminal and navigate to **/lib/i386-linux-gnu/**. Now create a symbolic link to ''libjson-c.so.3''.

<code>sudo ln -s libjson-c.so.3 libjson.so.0</code>

When you run ''start.sh'' again, you may get an error about a missing ''libssl'' library.

<code>./BaldursGate: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</code>

To fix this, install the 32-bit version of the library files:

<code>sudo apt install libssl1.0.0:i386</code>

And now the game runs properly.

==== Update for Ubuntu 20.04 ====
Edit the source list:
<code>sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list</code>

 to add the following line:

<code>deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main</code>
Then...
<code>sudo apt update && sudo apt install libssl1.0.0</code>
