libfreetype.so.6 not found

[Barbie]

I'm just setting up a new UT server on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS x64 and get

~/ut-server/System$ ./ut-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So it looks like I need a 32 bit version of libfreetype?

[Buggie]

Yes. For x32 binary all libs must be x32.

[Barbie]

So where to get that?

[Buggie]

Possible via
apt-get install lib32stdc++6
but not sure
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2187957

Maybe need full line:
apt-get install lib32stdc++6 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:i386

[Barbie]

Yes, thanks, found that too, but wanted to ask before installing tons of unneeded packages.

Really an adventure… Why can't it simply work? I had spent hours of life time for unnecessary rubbish.

I'm on a wrong track: same happens on running public server, so there must be another stumbling block.

In case it helps any, I had similar dependency problems on a new Debian 11 install recently. It should be close enough to Ubuntu to be relevant but package names could be different. I didn't need 32 bit libfreetype for some reason but the following worked for me, most of which you have probably already discovered:

To add 32 bit arch:
dpkg --add-architecture i386

To see that it worked:
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

apt-get update
apt install libc6:i386
apt install libstdc++6:i386
apt install libx11-6:i386
apt install libxext6:i386

Some extra notes I kept:

You can search for packages to install with the following but it won't list the 32bit equivalents. The names should be the same for 32 bit packages so you should just be able to append :i386 to the package name if found. (example using libfreetype)
apt-cache search libfreetype

You can find what you have already installed with:
apt list --installed

And of course to find something specific you have already installed: (example using libstdc++)
apt list --installed | grep libstdc++

Really an adventure… Why can't it simply work? I had spent hours of life time for unnecessary rubbish.

Because it is Linux way.

[Eternity]

IIRC, in order to get UT server working i had to add at least these 3 items:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt install libc6:i386
apt install libstdc++6:i386

There is 64-bit version of UT for Linux out now. Wonder if it works without installing any additional packages...

[Barbie]

Works now.
I think that this was enough:

apt-get install ia32-libs
