[SOLVED] libX11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Legacy_Scorpio Snake]

               I am having a problem trying to get NWMovies to work. It worked fine when I was running Debian. I recently installed Ubuntu and now it will not work. I think I have narrowed it down to a problem I had before. Unfortunately the answer was on the old forums and I cannot remember exactly what I did before. Here is the error I am getting from nwmovies.log:

ERROR: Unable to dlopen(libX11.so): libX11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I appreciate any help.

               I know nothing of linux.   The only advice that I can give is in reguards to you beliving that the answer was on the old boards.   OTR did the community a great service that he shaired his back up in 



NWN Omnibus: Offline search tool for select legacy BioWare forums, documents, CCG, Lexicon and more.

               If you have the 32bit version of Ubuntu, do an

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

If it's the 64bit version, do an

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

If that does not help, ask again.

               I have the same problem.
"ERROR: Unable to dlopen(libX11.so): libX11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

But the sugested packages are there.
If I run the BinkPlayer on terminal, I can play the movies.

The log looks like this:
NOTICE: NWMovies.pl playing: AtariLogo: Sat Oct 19 23:11:43 2013
NOTICE: NWMovies: Executing: ./nwmovies/BinkPlayer ./movies/AtariLogo.bik

NOTICE: NWMovies.pl finished playing: AtariLogo: Sat Oct 19 23:11:43 2013

Someone can help me?
I appreciate any help.

               Hi montanha11!

If you are on an 64bit Ubuntu Linux with multiarch support (since version 11.10 IIRC), do the following:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386

That will add the development header files of the 32bit version for the main X11 shared library to your system and should help - nwmovies.so needs those files, though nwn itself does not.

If you are on any other linux version, we'll need some more information regarding your issue:
Linux distro and version
32bit or 64bit architecture

               Thank you so much!
"sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386" was the key.
It worked perfectly
