Description Greg Watson (linuxkrn) 2006-10-07 21:13:52 UTC
It appears that libvorbis has updated their libraries so libvorbisfile.so.0 is no longer part of the install.

I have media-libs/libvorbis-1.1.2 installed.
Which has:
/usr/lib/libvorbisfile.a
/usr/lib/libvorbisfile.la
/usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so
/usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so.3
/usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so.3.1.1

I've sent an email to devs of game for fix since this is a binary package.  Please set bug to resolve later.  I will update/reopen when I have more information.

Reply from author:

I'm sorry but we've stopped supporting Phobia III at least for now so we'll not be
releasing a version that directly supports libvorbisfile.so.3. But anyway, I don't
really know about the interface differences of libvorbisfile but in many cases you
can simply make a symlink from libvorbisfile.so.0 to libvorbisfile.so.3. If that
doesn't work the distributions often offer compat packages for the important libs.
Look for a package named libvorbisfile-compat or similar.

So it doesn't look like we will have a fixed version of this.  I'll test to see if it can work with .3 and updated again.

A symlink will have to do.
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-13 07:49:34 UTC
*If* it works, that is...
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-10-13 21:35:55 UTC
no, do not create such a thing

i say just punt it from portage
Comment 5 Greg Watson (linuxkrn) 2006-10-14 08:51:36 UTC
I tend to agree.  While it does work with the symlink, that is a bad and dirty hack.  I suggest making it depend on =media-libs/libvorbis-1.0.1-r2.

That way if you have never version installed it should be blocked.

Does phobiaii suffer the same problem?
