Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi, I can't seem to run the Dolphin 64-bit program at all. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid 64bit. The version I am trying to run of Dolphin is: 2745-fastlog. When I tried double-clicking it, nothing happened, so I cd'd to the directory and typed ./Dolphin. When I did that, it showed this error:

./Dolphin: error while loading shared libraries: libportaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What should I do?

sudo aptitude install libportaudio ?

I just tried that, it installed and everything, but the same error comes up in the console as before.

Anyone know what to do?

i have never tried Dolphin in Ubuntu, but my experience with Ubuntu is that 8.04 is much more compatible with software than 8.10 is. I had that exact same problem when installing lyxdream in 8.10 (dreamcast emu) and I had ALL of the libportaudio packages installed, i never got it to work even in 8.04, sorry..........

go to www.portaudio.com and download the tar source. compile it.

I was having the same problem with libbluetooth.so.2, but it's fixed now.
I think that's because of the version (and filename) difference between available library and the library requested by Dolphin.

First, run terminal and type:
That will open nautilus in super-admin mode.

Go to /usr/lib, and search for a link to libportaudio.so.[version], then make a copy of that link, rename it to libportaudio.so.2. Done.

[don't touch the library file.]

don rename it to libportaudio.so.2, just make a symbolic link.

Ok, I'll try this later.

you should probably apt-get install instead of aptitude
