HI there -

I just bought the linux version, unzipped the tarball and now have no idea what to do. There's no documentation or readme with anything about how to start the game.
In the untared folder there is a 'start.sh' binary. Executing that gives me:

[robot5x@isis Papers, Please]$ ./start.sh
Running Papers, Please
support/gog_com.shlib: line 211: ./PapersPlease: No such file or directory

Any ideas?!
thanks a lot.

Hi.

I am getting the same message running on Debian Jessie, x86_64 Linux 3.16-2-amd64 and radeonsi driver.

I am still trying to find possible causes.

Probably the start script is looking for a directory containing architecture specific binaries:
cd "${bin_path64}"
but the tarball did not provide one.

Hi, are you on a 64bit system? Please check, whether you have the 32bit libs installed, as Papers Please is 32bit only. One thing both of you can try: cd into the subfolder game (inside the Papers, Please folder) and run the executable PapersPlease. Maybe it works then. It's just an idea, I could be wrong and it isn't that simple. ;)

Hi!

I have tested again in my other debian testing install which has multiarch enabled (steam, dota2, cs1.6 working) and get the following error:

$ ./start.sh
Running Papers, Please
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 156 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 98
Current serial number in output stream: 99


The strange thing is that the system knows where the driver is:

$ locate radeonsi_dri.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so


Will keep looking for a solution.

I have found a solution to my problem.

I am using Debian Jessie 64bits and I have multiarch (i386) enabled, running on kernel 3.16.

This was my solution: The library provided by gog does not work for me and linking the native library did the trick.

I would also like some support from GOG on this, not even a .deb or repo?

I have the same problem. Now with the linux-installer: Is there a way to provide Papers Please as 64 bit version. I do not want to install 32 bit libraries on my 64 bit system.

Otherwise I would have to create a personal environment for Papers Please.
