I was also having an issue with libopenal...wish I still had the text of the error to share. Solution was frighteningly easy...sudo apt-get install libopenal1. Running great now!
Hey guys,
Quick update. We haven't forgotten about you. We are still working on a fix.
We we're able to confirm our fix works on Ubuntu but the solution doesn't work under Fedora. So we're still working hard on this.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I would recommend those who are using older versions of Ubuntu / Mint to upgrade to the most recent release, if possible. A lot of the mono libs that have made porting these games across possible are still very new, and are not available in older distributions. The mono-complete package on newer ubuntu based distros works fine in most cases. The other option would be to do as liviux76 has done, and compile the latest mono bundle manually (not all that hard, due to the script).
The mono stuff is kind of out of the hands of the game devs I think, but there should be a warning on games that rely on mono, since a lot of folks are still using older distros.
Linux Mint 11 32 bits.

Mono is install , i try the solution of liviux76 and is not working for me.
still waiting for a fix for the mono issue, any thing soon??
On debian mint 64 bit, Wizorb won't launch :

Running Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 and game fails to load:

I have mono-complete and openal installed but no love. Anyone know a solution to this problem. I see some other similar posts but no resolutions.
Hello,
in order to be able to play Wizorb on Ubuntu 10.04 32bit (and pretty much on Debian and CentOS too), I completely removed mono, then I compiled mono using a script that I found on the Internet called 'install_mono-2.10.sh' and I created a link to mono in /usr/bin/ :
sudo ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono /usr/bin/mono
Finally I had to launch the game using mono at the debug level:
MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug ./wizorb.sh to check the errors related to the libraries.
Note that I modified my wizorb.sh file as follows:
#!/bin/bash
# Get the 'working directory' path.
if echo "$0" | grep '^/' ; then
rootPath="$0"
else
rootPath=`pwd`/$0
fi
# Run the game!
cd `dirname "$rootPath"`
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib mono Wizorb.exe
I put the libraries that mono complained about (for example libopenal.so.1, libtiff.so.3, libGL.so.1, libX11.so.6 and so on) on the "desura_directory"/common/wizorb/lib . Note that usually I already had the libraries on my system but the names weren't exactly as requested by the game.
Hope this helps!
Bye, Liviux76
On linux Issues:
I'm on linux mint 11 (distribution based on ubuntu natty).
The game did not work with the version of mono I could get on synaptic.
The game works since I added a ppa for it.

On the game:
Please, give us the ability to change the key to speed up the pad, having my fingers on j, k, and n at the same time really hurts !
I'd like to speed up the pad with h for instance.
The rest is pretty good ^^
But I will not play the game again until it's possible to control the pad with the keyboard without hurting myself.
I love this game. Especially it's graphics and animations. Great work devs.
Running flawless on Linux Mint 12 64 Bit.
