Installing on Arch Linux`

[MXboy169]

Not sure if anyone will be able to help me, but I'm running Endeavouros (Based on Arch Linux) and I'm not quite sure how to install because arch does not handle downloads the same with tar.gz files.

I'd download it, open a terminal and do "tar xzf Downloads/mxsimulator-1_13-linux-x86.tar.gz" to extract it. Then "cd mxsimulator; ./mx" to run it.

I tried that, but on Arch you typically install applications through the command and the package sends the needed dependencies. So when I attempt to just rn the game, I receive this error: error while loading shared libraries: libXi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try this:

pacman -F libXi.so

Then install the packages it lists.

Just tried it, had to run it as root:
$ pacman -Fy libXi.so
error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
[joshua@joshua-eos ~]$ sudo pacman -Fy libXi.so

still throwing the same error.

Looks like you have the 64 bit library installed but not the 32 bit version. Probably easiest to just use a recent snapshot mxbin instead of the one from 1.13. Recent snapshots are 64 bit. 1.13 is 32 bit and will need the 32 bit libraries installed.

That fixed it. Thank you.
