Still having trouble running Zelda Classic on Ubuntu?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2626 / 1 Year ago, tue, march 7, 2023, 2:12:13

So I downloaded and extracted Zelda Classic to my Downloads file on my Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit laptop. I opened the folder and clicked on zlaunch-l and nothing happened. I checked the properties and it is executable. I selected Run Software to run the zlaunch-l app again to no effect. I tried selecting it in the Terminal but it doesn't seem capable of distinguishing the space in the Zelda Classic folder name and tells me that no folder of path exists. I would like to play Zelda on my machine, but I would also like to know how to get apps I download outside of the Software Center to run. Please, somebody help me.

Zelda classic requires various 32-bit libraries that are not included with the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Use the commands ldd ./zlaunch-l and ldd ./zelda-l to get a list of missing files, then use aptitude or a similar program to install said libraries.
These commands should install all of the required libraries:

sudo apt-get install libxcursor1:i386

sudo apt-get install libxpm4:i386

sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm1:i386
