Running AC3D 8 on Linux

[Andy]

"ac3d" is a 32 bit dynamically linked binary program and requires external libraries to have been installed

DEPENDING ON THE VERSION OF LINUX YOU ARE USING, YOU MAY REQUIRE EXTRA LIBRARIES IN ORDER TO RUN THIS PROGRAM

To get AC3D running on 64 bit Linux, start by installing these packages (example from Ubuntu Linux - others may use different methods of package installation)

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386
sudo apt-get install libxmu6:i386
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6:i386
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386

check "ldd ./ac3d" to see what libraries are needed.

To add OpenGL:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386

others:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg62:i386
sudo apt-get install libtiff5:i386
sudo apt-get install libxft2:i386
