[sldev] Question about Snowglobe binaries

[Dahlia Trimble]

I've been using Snowglobe "Second Life 1.23.2 (2324) May 27 2009 15:18:08
(Second Life OSS)" on my Ubuntu 8.04 x64 system but I've had difficulties
with bump maps not working so I thought I'd try a newer version.

I downloaded a newer linux build from this page:
https://lists.secondlife.com/pipermail/sldev-commits/2009-June/002823.html and
I get the following error when I try to execute it:

Secondlife/Snowglobe-i686-0.9.0.2418
bin/snowglobe-do-not-run-directly: error while loading shared libraries:
libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*** Bad shutdown. ***
According to aptitude, the libz I'm using is the most recent for my
distribution. Here is a listing of the relevant files:

root at nkubuntu:/usr/lib# ls -al libz.s*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 2008-07-29 21:59 libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 2008-07-28 16:50 libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.3.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93536 2007-11-15 05:12 libz.so.1.2.3.3

Is there some other libz I would need to run these executables, hopefully
one which would be compatible with other applications/libraries on my
system? Or are there plans to distribute recent binaries which would run in
the same environments as the production SL viewers?

Also a suggestion: please consider offering 64 bit binaries :)
