OK so I know some of us AMD64 users have been having trouble with 0.9.6 and by read some threads everyone was saying run a 32bit chroot which in my opinion is a little overkill so I found a better way to do and in the spirit of open source I'm sharing it with you. Smile

This is wrote with Ubuntu in mind but I'm sure if you change the packages to your package manager system it will work just the same.

First you need to download the Linux version of PCSX2 from the website and unpack:

Code:

# tar zxvf PCSX2_0.9.6_linux.tar.gz

# cd pcsx2/

Next lets meet all the needed dependences:

Code:

# sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev automake1.9 libbz2-dev libasound-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libglu1-mesa-dev libglew1.5-dev;

Running PCSX2 now will result in the program running but not being able to show and graphic output due to the hard coding of looking for some 32bit libs so now we are going copy over some of the need libs.

Download the needed files:

Code:

# mkdir tmp

# cd tmp/

# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glew/libglew1.5_1.5.0dfsg1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb

# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glew/libglew1.5-dev_1.5.0dfsg1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb

# wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/Cg_2.1/2.1.0017/Cg-2.1_February2009_x86.tgz

Now we can extract the files:

Code:

# dpkg -x libglew1.5_1.5.0dfsg1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb .

# dpkg -x libglew1.5-dev_1.5.0dfsg1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb .

# tar zxvf Cg-2.1_February2009_x86.tgz

Next we need to copy the libraries to the lib32 directory:

Code:

# sudo cp usr/lib/* /usr/lib32/

Lets do a little clean up:

Code:

# cd ..

# rm -r tmp/

# rm ../PCSX2_0.9.6_linux.tar.gz

OK now run PCSX2:

Code:

# ./pcsx2

Now you will see everything works as normal.

Hope this helps you guys.

Thanks, I was having trouble with PCSX2 not recognizing the plugins. Your post fixed everything. Smile
