I just installed the package, gnome-games-extra. I remember from my Fedora days that there used to be another package called gnome-games-extra-data that essentially added more settings for the games. The repositories I currently use are:

base
elrepo
epel
extras
updates

A yum search for gnome-games-extra-data had no results. Does anyone know if this package is available?

Thanks so much.

CODE

./UrTUpdater.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I googled it and I found that I need the 32bit version of that library. The problem is that I can't find it in any repository, RPMforge, EPEL, default repositories, nowhere.

Does anybody know where I could find this library or run the game in another way? ]]> http://scientificlinux.b1.jcink.com//index.php?showtopic=2047 mpardalos 4 2047 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:23:53 +0000 PyChess on SL6.3
I recently installed PyChess on SL6.3x64, using an .noarch.rpm from the official Google Code site (http://code.google.com/p/pychess/downloads/list). It installed fine, but when I run it, the program never seems to launch. When run from terminal, I get the following:

CODE

Any thoughts/tips to get this one to work?

It´s nice that my favorite website crazymonkeygames offers a download of the .sfw files from the flash games. Now I used google to find a solution to the problem that I want to play that games offline, and I found that: sh**.
After that I thought "I am such a idiot"; what I want to say is:
1. Download the games you want
2. Extract the .swf files in your game folder or where you want
3. Drag and drop the .swf files in your flash-enabled browser (firefox works great for me)
4. There is no "..?"
5. Profit! ]]> http://scientificlinux.b1.jcink.com//index.php?showtopic=1744 nachtpult 2 1744 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:31:57 +0000 [Q] Various Games

Players can choose from 2 unique races, aliens and humans. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions, the most important being spawning. The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. Other structures provide automated base defense (to some degree), healing functions and much more...

Installing can be done by downloading the game from the official website.

Or if you prefer the RPM way, download the latest version from the Fedora 15 repo.
You need to grab two files if you want to play the game:

For x86_64:
tremulous-1.2.0-0.2.beta1.fc15.x86_64.rpm
tremulous-data-1.2.0-0.2.beta1.fc15.noarch.rpm

You can find those here or on any other mirror. ]]> http://scientificlinux.b1.jcink.com//index.php?showtopic=875 redman 3 875 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 09:38:39 +0000 Nexuiz Nezuiz.

For x86_64:
darkplaces-20091001-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm
nexuiz-2.5.2-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm
nexuiz-data-2.5.2-2.fc15.noarch.rpm

I've downloaded the Game "ManiaDriver-1.2-linux-i386.tar.gz" today! My SL6 is the x86_64 Version.

In the first step i have downloded and installed "glibc.i686" to have the /lib/ld-linux.so.2. This was successfully.

When I type

CODE

sh mania2.sh2

I become the message

CODE

game/mania2.static: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What is the next step to do for me?

//EDIT: DONE!!!

I've installed the following Packages:

CODE

mesa-libGL-devel.i686
mesa-libGLU.i686
mesa-libGLU-devel.i686
alsa-lib-devel.i686
libasound2.i686
alsa-lib.i686
