Lutris, scumm issue

[Trustmeimadoctor]

im just trying to get lutris working and im having right difficulties so far i cant get anything to work.

one step at a time though

trying to launch blade runner from gog

its installed "fine"

when i run it it crashed straight out and i get

/home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/scummvm/bin/scummvm: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_net-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so yeah when i look in /bin/ i see a file of scummvm but no idea what then i assume thats some sort of package that have other stuff inside it but i have really no idea.

That's not finding a required shared library to run the scummvm engine. Just done a quick search online and it looks to be a system package that scummvm requires, but isn't provided as a dependency.

For something like ubuntu, you'd run sudo apt-get install libsdl2-net-2.0-0

I'm not familiar with Lutris, but install the libsdl2 package using your distros package manager and hopefully you'll be sorted. Note, from the message it's not Lutris that's the problem, but the scummvm engine/environment that it's launching to run Blade Runner. I had that on CD back in the day, lent it to a friend and never got it back Never knew it used the scummvm engine underneath.

Also, if the .so file is within the scummvm folders, you may just need to setup your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the location of the .so file which will then help the OS know where to look for runtime libraries.
