Bug 27587 – Heavy Gear 2 cannot run, says libttf.so.2 is missing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tuomas Mursu 2003-08-30 04:31:54 UTC]

I installed Heavy Gear 2 and of course wanted to play it. But: 
 
darkon@Eternity darkon $ hg2 
hg2: WARNING: dlopen() failed: libttf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory 
hg2: WARNING: couldn't run shell 
 
libttf.s0.2 is a Freetype lib. I have Freetype installed but can't find that file. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Heavy Gear 2 from CD or emerge hg2. 
2. Try running it. 
3. Wonder why it doesn't work. 
Actual Results:  
darkon@Eternity darkon $ hg2 
hg2: WARNING: dlopen() failed: libttf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory 
hg2: WARNING: couldn't run shell 

Expected Results:  
Run the game?

I'll look into it as soon as I finish these nasty UT2003 bugs.

Simply put, hg2 needs a RDEPEND="=media-libs/freetype-1*".

Thanks for reminding me of this.  I had totaly forgotten.  Changed in CVS.
