Starting binary -> can't open shared library
I want to start a binary:
$ my@mypc:~/Machinarium$ ./Machinarium
./Machinarium: error while loading shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
here
(Same happens when I try to start it via linux32 ./Machinarium
. It is a 32bit linux binary and I have a 64bit machine. Same with sudo.)
Locating the library (it exists)
I tried to locate it: (fourth line from the bottom is the important one)
me@mypc:~/Machinarium$ locate libXt

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6.1.0
So what happened? It's clearly there. Why can't it be found?
Install i386 version explicitly
I thought since it's a folder labeled x86_64
this might not be compatible to that 32bit game. So I installed the 32bit version explicitly. (Following that stackoverflow answer.)
me@mypc:~/Machinarium$ sudo apt install libxtst6:i386
libxtst6:i386 already is the newest version (2:1.2.3-1).
(translation by me. This is one line of what the very short answer by apt says.)
Requirements check -> not found
I checked the requirements for the binary: (I only give you the important line of the output and ignore any other line, if you really need the rest I wonder what for, just tell me in the comments if needed!)
me@mypc:~/Machinarium$ ldd Machinarium
libXt.so.6 => not found
Question
- Why doesn't the binary find the shared library?
- How to fix that?
