Fixing Library Problems

After fixing an aggravating problem in getting Baldur's Gate 1) 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.
