I've just purchased Sim City 3000, has anyone got any idea why I am getting this error:

P.S. it's difficult to send a email to Loki when they don't exist anymore!! :-(

Re: Sim City 3000

if u have rpm based distribution and the simcity3000 installed from a rpm package, try this in a terminal to know which glibc has your system installed:
$ rpm -q glibc

it could be incompatibility between your glibc and the one which simcity was compiled with... just an idea.

Hi, Thanks for the info. This is the result:

r1co:/home/root # rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.5-164
r1co:/home/root #

Is there anything I can do to sort this problem out ?

Thanks

u didn't tell which version of suse linux do u use... anyway i'm sorry but i think there's no chance to get it working with glibc 2.1.80 and later according to this faq: http://faqs.lokigames.com/sc3ufaq.html#23
only solution i see is a "downgrade" to glibc < 2.1.80 if your system was using it before already or to choose some older distro to play the game.

unfortunately while it's not open source u can't recompile it by yourself with your own glibc version...

alternatively u can try

if anyone of users can help u...

Hi, Thanks for your repply, I am using Suse 8.1 with KDE3.1 and downgrading is not a option for me, as I have updated my intire system and lots of programs depends on that version of glibc :-(

Thanks all the same!

I believe it's possible to play sc3u with suse 8.1 since I can play it with a fresh gentoo. Install sc3u updates and if that doesn't help you need to install some compatible libraries. libcompat or something similar.
