epsxe 1.5.2 Linux problem

[TheMaister]

Hi. Using newest Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and downloaded ePSXe for linux. However. After I install the plugins (putting in /plugins and /cfg), I boot up epsxe through terminal (normal double-click doesn't work for some reason). When I then try to select plugins, the program simply exits. (Can pick the bios though). Pretty sure I installed all libs nescessary as the program itself boots up.

ls /plugins : libcdrmooby-2.8.so libgpuPeteXGL2.so.2.0.8 libspuEternal.so.1.41
libgpuPeteMesaGL.so.1.0.76 libpadOmniJoy.so

ls /cfg : cfgOmniJoy cfgPeteXGL2 gpuPeteXGL2.cfg
cfgPeteMesaGL gpuPeteMesaGL.cfg gpuPeteXGL2.cfg~


EDIT: Found the problem. Need libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 for the plugins to be able to load. However, the hardy repositories don't seem to have it :\
EDIT: Found it Ubuntu -- Package Download Selection -- libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-24_i386.deb, but even with it, same problem :\

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/epsxe

Weird, but did the trick. After this I made a backup of the 1.6.0 executable, and copied the 1.5.2 one over.

cd /usr/local/games/epsxe/
sudo cp "1.5.2 executable" *

And made an executable script on the desktop. Normal loading didn't work for me.

cd /usr/local/games/epsxe
./epsxe

then use chmod 777 on it.
