Problems loading in Linux Steam/Arch 64bit

Post by c64 »

Trying to load FTL through steam on Arch, it's kinda loading but then closing straight away.

After trying to load it through a console instead I get this error:
$ ./FTL
Loading Arch = amd64
/home/c64/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster Than Light/data/amd64/bin/FTL: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm guessing I need to download something, just not sure what.

It's one of the main 3D libraries in Linux, often provided by the Mesa project. I'm a bit surprised it is not already installed in your distribution.

Maybe this is what you are looking for? :)
