Hi,

I'm getting the following error when trying to launch the game:
scummvm_x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There seems to be no package containing libjpeg.so.8 available for Debian Buster.

Anyone having an idea what I could try to fix this?

Regards,
Hutschi

solved by installing scummvm from the debian repo and editing the support/gog_com.shlib to use the debian version of scummvm instead of the one shipped by gog

run_scummvm() {
local conf="${1}"
# ./scummvm/scummvm -c "${conf}" --themepath=scummvm
scummvm -c "${conf}" --themepath=scummvm
}

I just want to express my thanks for this. :) You saved me an hour of tracking this down, when Google hit on this post.
