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

oops!

// 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!! |
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
yeah i remember how happy u were after implementing , oops installing OLAD7 😀 😀
So u blogged after such a long time :-\. Waiting for your blog on android :):)
happy blogging 😀
😛 LOL. Android is coming up soon 😛
Yeah. Its a total pleasure…! Abhi updated the blog! 🙂
Thanks for following my Awesome blog. I promise you… One day… 🙂 you’ll get Awesome too 😀 😀 Keep Reading! JK. bye
Hi , i am using debian-squeeze 6.0.0
I mounted the oald7 iso then ran ‘installation.sh’
I got libgrk1.2 not found so I installed ‘libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19_i386.deb libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18.1_all.deb libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18.1_all.deb’ then I got libxp6.so.0 not found so installed libxp6_1.0.0.xsf1-2_i386.deb .Installation was succesful.
Now when I run oald7 I don’t get any error messages neither any window. What should I do ?
my computer is pentium3 , 1GHz , 384MB RAM
I deleted /sur/local/oald & oald7 binary file then reinstalled from iso simply by ‘/media/OALD7/linux/installation.sh’ .
My configuration window wasn’t bare (Thank God! which helped me see where files are being copied in previous seeming successful install).
OALD7 now runs smooth . Trying again worked.
Anyway , this may be useful for somebody stuck like I was. Thank You.
Thanks Sumeet. I am glad it worked. 🙂 no bare windows huh? Lucky you.
Have you tried on slackware 13.37 ?
Well its embarrassing.. but I have never seen Slack .. in my entire life. Will soon install it on my VirtualBox & share d results. Though I see no reason why it shouldn’t work.
Sadly, this didn’t work for me. It says (w/ linux32):
“This installation doesn’t support unknown on Linux / x86”
uname -a
Linux WORLD 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
linux32 uname -a
Linux WORLD 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I also tried it on Linux Mint Debian Edition and got the same results. 😦
You know what… a few days back I was trying to do the same thing myself on Ubuntu 11.04 but it didn’t work. I opened this post to check if I was doing everything right. It just didn’t work. I got the exact same error. I guess it has something to do with other libraries. Anyway, I was in a hurry – checked VirtualBox – Windows XP was up – visited Torrentz – found the Crack – got it to work.
I wonder why isn’t there a proper dictionary for Linux.
Try installing OALD8 Petr.
OK, I got it to work!
Basically what I did is copy the installed files from a 32 bit istallation:
cp -a root32/usr/bin/oald7 /usr/bin
cp -a root32/usr/local/oald7 /usr/local/
oald7
(root32 = path to where I mounted the root of a 32 bit ubuntu linux installation with oald7 on it )
I just did it a couple of minitues ago and it works. True I have been tinkering with some 32 bit libraries in my 64 bit installation, so that might’ve helped.
Anyway, for people who try to do this in the future:
Install oald7 on a 32 bit linux installation and copy the installed files as shown above.
It is probable that 32 bit libraries will be required too (synaptic, old repositories). I think the application will say what it needs. 🙂
🙂 very well. Thanks for posting!
Today I installed it on Ubuntu 12.04 and updated the blog as well.
Keep rocking hackers!!
Hi
I have Linux Mint 14 (Cinnamon) installed on my laptop.
I installed OALD8 by: linux32 ./setup.sh and it completed.
But just an icon on my desktop which when I double click on it the message: Untrusted Application Luncher appears.
Then? I exhusted and quit. I am not a hacker and I spend hours on the web, reading texts like yours to learn how to deal with Linux; but it’s tiresome.
I understand 🙂
I think its all about the feeling that you get when you finally get things working the way you want. You just need to keep trying 🙂
I am running OALD8 on Linux Mint 14 (xfce). Its working fine for me (just that the pronunciation isn’t fixed yet. But soon it will be :-D).
Please paste the error message that you are getting… here! And we can take it forward from there.
And Trust me when I say it, “OALD8 is pretty trustworthy”!
I said when I double click on it this message appears.

Thanks for following the problem.
Hey. You must ignore the pop-up.
Create a text file (shell-script.sh as I mentioned towards the end of the post) and make it executable. Run it!
Instead of /home/nikunj you need to put the install directory.
Finally say:
$ chmod u+x shell-script.sh
Hope this would work for you if the installation was successful.
Thank you! It worked. But I don’t know how to make an executable script.
I will search and solve it.
I installed gnash; but still have problem with shockwave flash player.
I’m not a geek as you! 🙂
Thanks again.
