Damonge: Hello, I just switched to Manjaro and tried running some of gog games when I launch them from start menu all of them are not launching. But when I launch them from their directory, all of my games are showing "failed to execute child process (No such directory found)". Is there a way to solve it?
This kind of error is common when you have no support for 32-bit applications on your system.
You probably need to install a couple lib32-* packages, starting with lib32-glibc.

Alm888: Hope that helps. :)
Hey, that was so clearly written that even I understood. You just made me want to start up my Manjaro installation that has collected dust since more than twelve months. I knew I needed to find out what was missing but did not know how. Yes, both 32 and 64 bit libraries are installed.

Thank you!

eiii: That's a question of proper dependency handling. When the game depends on that library and the library is available on the system it should automatically be installed when you install the game. Bundling the library with the game is not the solution.

The problem is not my installation, I know how to handle that. The problem is the number of systems of users which do not know how to handle it and which are not provided with security updates of these bundled libraries and then work as spam relays, members of bot nets, whatever ...

ssokolow: That assumes that the packages are available at all.

For example, I've encountered various Mono and node-webkit games where, on Ubuntu 12.04, they worked out of the box perfectly but, on 14.04, you had to do non-trivial stuff to get them to work because they depended on system libraries with ABI versions which simply weren't in the package repository anymore.

For example, many games built on proprietary node-webkit/nw.js-based engines now depend on libudev.so.0 due to the engine developers being slow to release updated builds.

However, Ubuntu 14.04 only offers libudev.so. https://filezilla.software/ https://www.ucbrowser.pro/ https://downloader.vip/rufus/1 and many indie devs are instructing people to make a symlink to libudev.so.1 since, in whatever they've tested, the ABI mismatch hasn't caused a crash.

(I'm not sure why they don't just bundle a build of libudev.so.0. It's LGPLed, they're not statically linking to it, and the source is something on the order of 150KiB. Trivial to bundle to ensure they'll always be satisfying their LGPL obligations.)

No, I'm well set up for 32-bit games and had libudev.so.1 installed on the 32-bit side. The problem was that Ubuntu 14.04 didn't package libudev.so.0, so I had to grab a copy from the Ubuntu 12.04 repository.

I wasn't the only person to have that problem. There were various issue reports from others who had the same problem and came to the same conclusion.

(You're talking to someone who has been running Linux exclusively since 2003, who ran Gentoo Linux for years before deciding he preferred the convenience of precompiled packages, who has done things like setting up a Linux From Scratch system for fun, and who has a bachelor's degree in computer information science.)

I put the Chinese post two posts above this (#1338) through the translator and it is spam but the text made me laugh.

I didn't even bother - just marked as spam right away.
