FIrst, i'm not downloading any file from an unknown website for security reasons.

I need someone to step me through this. I've read through the guides. I'm still stuck on how to install this library. Maybe link to newer library. Only through the official opensuse libraries.

Running Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition
./nwmain-linux: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by ./nwmain-linux)

Now officially speaking, GOG has backed the wrong horse by supporting Ubuntu by way of Mint; so SUSE isn't supported.

Most of that was said in cheek, seeing as I'm a Fedora user whose ire is directed at devs using libraries that are laughably outdates like libzip 4.

Now we both use RPM based packages, so there may yet be hope; but Fedora uses DNF instead of Zypper.

Try this in your local terminal of choice: zypper glibc --provides

[url=https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_manual]If that doesn't work, you may have to scour the manual a bit.[/url]

{zypper what-provides} might actually be more in line with the command I'm thinking of.

Or maybe: zypper search --provides

Beamdog's Linux quality control is poor. Despite claiming to support Ubuntu 12.04 and above, the current version needs versions of libc which didn't get released until around 18.04. I'm surprised your SUSE installation is missing them, though. I thought SUSE had moved to a semi-rolling model?

You're right to be reluctant to expose your system to untrusted libraries, particularly one as fundamental as libc. If you do find a suitable candidate, remember to avoid installing it to a system location; instead, keep it somewhere safe and LD_ORELOAD it at the commands line when you launch the game.

FYI, opensuse had libc in v11.1 It was removed. (only skimmed messages need to read them after this.)

I can compile it from sources.

Take it one step at a time:

tar -zxvf glibsource.tar.gz
mkdir glibc-build -- This creates the directory where the compiled files end up.
cd glibc-build -- This is where you run your commands
../glibsource-dir/configure -- This puts all the make files, etc. in the glibc-build directory
Type make while you are still in the glibc-build directory

I was able to get all the needed files, but I keep getting 'bad version'

I've not tried the linux version since I posted this. So, It's time I closed this topic.

I'll create a new post in the future.
