Hi everyone.

I'm having trouble playing the Quake III demo from Portage. I added my user to
the 'games' group after I installed it, but whenever I try to run it,
this is what I get:

/home/peter $ q3demo
./q3demo.x86: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libNoVersion.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It says that it is not a file on my system, yet it exists:

/home/peter $ ls -al /lib | grep NoVersion
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5740 Oct 16 12:45 libNoVersion-2.3.4.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Oct 16 12:47 libNoVersion.so.1 ->
libNoVersion-2.3.4.so

So it's in there and exists, but for some reason it (Q3 Demo) is not finding the
library it needs. When I try to run `ldd /opt/quake3-demo/q3demo.x86`, it gives
me the same error about not being able to load /lib/libNoVersion.so.1.

When I check to see what package the file belongs to, this is what I get:

/root # equery belongs /lib/libNoVersion.so.1
Searching for file '/lib/libNoVersion.so.1' in *...
sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041006 (/lib/libNoVersion.so.1 -> libNoVersion-2.3.4.so)

Would this be a glibc bug? I've built my glibc with only NPTL. Would that harm
it? Here is my glibc info:

hmmm, does ldconfig or something like that need to be run for the system
to recognise that library (is that library part of q3demo, or another
package, you don't say?)

There's something odd going on here. I've been running QUAKE III ARENA (from
the tin) on a lot of linux boxes with nptl and haven't had an issue like
this one. Maybe the problem lies in the compiled binaries in the demo
package? You were running the demo, right?

Cheers.

Yea. I've been trying to get the demo to run (installed via Portage), version
1.11. Are you running this same glibc verson (2.3.4.20041006) with only NPTL? I
know some programs dont like NPTL and will fall back to LinuxThreads when they
can, and that seems to fix it from the bug reports (by forcing it into using
LinuxThreads and thinking it's on a 2.4 kernel). Yet, with the 2.3.4.20041006
ebuild, there is an 'nptlonly' USE flag that can be set to not build this
fallback support for LinuxThreads. I guess that's what I get for running a pure
experimental/~x86/GCC 3.4/2.6 headers etc. system. And since everything
installed from Portage is binaries, I don't think re-emerging would help. I hope
this gets fixed soon.
