World of Goo Official Realese

[sobkas]

Linux port of "World of Goo" has been released today. After long wait we can finally use native version of this excellent game.

Linux version is packaged in three formats:
-rpm
-deb
-tar
Unfortunately there is no 64bit version. But don't fear, i386 version will work on 64bit systems(with 32bit libraries, most systems come with it preinstalled if not pleas read documentation of your distribution).

Linux version unsupports also one feature not included in other ports, it's a "Multiple Mice Support".
Description from readme:

As an unsupported feature, the Linux version of World of Goo can be played
with up to four players at a time, each using a separate mouse.

More about it on this page:

I want to mention that everyone that bought World Of Goo in 2DBoy Shop http://2dboy.com/games.php can download their Linux version now.

Please compile on etch:

./WorldOfGoo.bin: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./WorldOfGoo.bin)

I don't have access to source code. I'm only small beta tester. But I will forward bug report.

Answer:
Upgrade glibc, new stable version of Debian should be released in near future.

ps. I'm not 2DBoy employee or anything.

It should work, I tested the beta on etch 32bit, also lenny 64bit.

It should work, I tested the beta on etch 32bit, also lenny 64bit.

I see this:
readelf -s ./WorldOfGoo.bin | grep GLIBC_2.4
20: 00000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __vswprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.4 (6)
165: 00000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4 (6)
on release and last beta. So there is a problem.
Why I didn't thought about checking that earlier.

This has been the best beta test I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of, and is likely one of the best $20 entertainment investments I'll ever make. Seriously, play the demo, of this, folks-- if you think its even potentially remotely interesting, get the full version. It's worth it even for sixty-one whole megabytes.

Oh yeah, this is nice to have, too: http://kylegabler.com/WorldOfGooSoundtrack/

Doesn't work for me I installed the rpm onto Fedora 10 64Bit.

/usr/bin/WorldOfGooDemo: /opt/WorldOfGooDemo/WorldOfGoo.bin: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/WorldOfGooDemo: line 22: /opt/WorldOfGooDemo/WorldOfGoo.bin: Success

Edit:
OK, I've installed glicb.i686, mesa-libGLU, libX11, libXau, libXdamage, libXdmcp, libXext, libXfixes, libXxf86vm, libdrm, libgcc, libstdc++, libxcb, mesa-libGL, SDL, SDL_mixer, libmikmod and now it seems all my dependencies are OK, but it segfaults at startup.

Can you post content of ~/.WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.log and what returns ldd /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo (pastebin.com).
And of course you don't try to start /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.bin but you starting it from menu or /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo, I am right?
