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 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
.
$ sudo apt install wine
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:
$ sudo apt install libjson0:i386
And now the game runs properly.
