Version 1.50, Fedora 14, can't install rpm package (solved)

Post by Arcades »

Hi,
it's been a while I don't play Crossfire and recently I came back to this fabulous game.
I tried to install, in Fedora 14, the rpms of version 1.50. Mine is quite a clean install from KDE dvd Spin.
The problem is just it can't find the lua library and it's very simple to solve but I hope this post may help someone who didn't.
Login as root and type:
ln -s /usr/lib/liblua.so /usr/lib/liblua.so.5.1
This will make a simbolic link of the library. Then you can install the game.
Also this is required for run it, since you may install by giving it --nodeps but then it won't run.

By the way: I was unable to run the game version 1.11 from the repositories but this is another story, I'll post it.
Hope this will help other Fedora users.
