😀 Well.. . as crazy as if sounds .. . I finally managed to Break the Code! 😛

// 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

| Looks Kinda… hmm….Nude!! |
OALD8 looks Light W8! (Rhyme?)
Update (2012-09-19):
For OALD8 on Ubuntu 12.04 Amd64
#1 Dependencies
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-sdl dpkg-dev
#2 Mount the ISO/CD
using Furious ISO Mount Tool, etc!
#3 Begin Installation
Go to the mount directory
$ cd linux
$ linux32 ./setup.sh
Tweaks:
#1
No Sound?
Try padsp – PulseAudio OSS Wrapper:
padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS compatible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a PulseAudio sound server.
$ padsp path-to-the-oald8
eg:
$ padsp ‘/home/nikunj/oald8/oald8’
#2
Create a Shell-Script on the Desktop
#!/bin/sh
padsp ‘/home/nikunj/oald8/oald8’
Make it executable. Also, optionally set the ICON from: /home/nikunj/oald8/chrome/icons/default/main-window.xpm
#3 (adjust)
Annoying Dialog: Click OK to download Plugin
Click Cancel. Yeah! Adjust! 😛
Update (2012-09-20)
Just copied and pasted it to my brand new Linux Mint.
It didn’t work by default.
/run-oald8.sh: 166: ./run-oald8.sh: ./oald8-bin: not found
So all I had to do was install the libraries.
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-sdl dpkg-dev
