Download Dolphin from here:

http://www.dolphin-emu.com/downloads.php

Then install the libraries need to run the emulator with this command in a terminal:

Quote:sudo apt-get install subversion scons g++ wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dbg libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dbg libwxgtk2.8-dev libsdl1.2-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libxxf86vm1-dbg libxxf86vm-dev libxext6-dbg libxext-dev libglew1.5-dev libcairo2-dbg libcairo2-dev libao2 libao-dev libbluetooth-dev libopenal1

Next you need to create a symbolic link from the latest bluetooth library to the one that Dolphin is looking for:

Quote:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3 /usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.2

That's all, the Emulator will now run either by double clicking in the file browser or by running in the terminal with ./Dolphin

Hope this helps someone!

Getting this error message after following these instructions:

./dolphin-emu: error while loading shared libraries: libportaudio.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


EDIT: I got it to work with that ln command (tweaked with libportaudio.so.0) under /usr/lib - I'm not very proficient under linux

Thanks!

I think I did either:

sudo ln -s libportaudio.so.0 libportaudio.so.2

or:

sudo ln -s libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so.0

or:

sudo ln -s libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so.0

I'm getting library missing error, doing ln -s libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so.0 will just create symlink that just points to another one, not a script. I'm guessing it should point to libportaudio.so.2.0.0 since that's what they do here on my system. Although when created that symlink its still giving me that same output, so what am I doing wrong?
I really wouldn't recommend using Dolphin under Linux right now. I recently installed Ubuntu for the sole purpose of testing the Linux versions of emulators such as Dolphin on Linux, Dolphin runs like complete crap on Linux compared to Windows. I'd recommend sticking to Windows if you want to use Dolphin, you can dual boot both Windows and Ubuntu Linux or you can install Ubuntu via Wubi without the need to set up a more complicated dual boot configuration.
