Game won't start on linux

[Lance Corrimal]

I just got the game from humble - the linux version won't start. On the shell I get:
./MarsSteam: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas? Running on openSUSE Leap 15.2 here.

same, its the glibc version problem. the link Noname posted should help.

Doesn't help with Leap 15.2 - I've tried. I "up/sidegraded" to openSUSE tumbleweed, now the game works - and so do all the others where I had pretty much the same issue.

Doesn't seem to work on Linux Mint 19.3. Vulkan and GPU drivers all up to date on my system. Well within specs for game. Other games by this developer work great (City: Skylines), but Surviving Mars does not work. It crashes immediately when trying to start the game. No log file seems to be present at the location described.

Anyone know if this works for mint 20?

should, glibc is the problem, new game version requires 2.29+. mint 18 comes with 2.27, 20 has 2.31.

I wrote a script, might be useful for someone:

#!/bin/bash

# sudo apt install build-essential bison gawk

destination_dir="${HOME}/tmp/mars"
glibc_version="2.29"
tar_file="${destination_dir}/glibc-${glibc_version}.tar.gz"
extract_dir="${destination_dir}/glibc-${glibc_version}"
source_url="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc/glibc-${glibc_version}.tar.gz"

if [[ ! -f "$tar_file" ]]; then
    wget "$source_url"
fi

if [[ ! -d "${destination_dir}" ]]; then
    mkdir -p "$destination_dir"
    mkdir "${destination_dir}/build"
    mkdir "${destination_dir}/binary"

    tar xzvf "$tar_file" -C "${destination_dir}"
    mv "$extract_dir" "${destination_dir}/src"

    cd "${destination_dir}/build" || exit
    ../src/configure --prefix="${destination_dir}/binary"
    make
fi

echo "Add the following to the game Launch Options:"
echo "LD_PRELOAD=\"${destination_dir}/build/math/libm.so.6\" %command%"

Note that you might need to install some stuff like build-essential, bison and gawk to compile and the compile will take 5 min or so (depending on your CPU).

After doing this I can start the game.
