Oh, it makes sense that it doesn't work then, because Desura builds are installed inside of the Desura dirs (specifically /opt/desura/common/ in case of the Archlinux build of Desura).
And for the .so file, try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable to the directory where the .so file is located. Im pretty this is not necessary if the .so file is installed in the standard location (/usr/lib i think).
It is in /usr/lib
Not only that, there's even a copy of it inside of Desura (/opt/desura/lib/libjpeg.so.62) (I guess it was included with some other game, since I think games on Desura can be shipped with some libraries).
By the way, the new PKGBUILD is broken as well... I tried it last night then I had to turn off the computer and I forgot to save the error, though. It was something on the lines of flare-rpg directory that does not exist I think. I think it's the step when it cds in the source dir, but I had no time to look into it though.
Building flare is relatively easy as there are only a few dependencies. So in case you have some experience with the shell you may try to compile it yourself:
I know that, but I was talking about a native 64bit version distributed on Desura, I can't add that myself ^^
If you still want to attempt to get the Desura version working, you could try making a symbolic link at /usr/local/share/games/flare/mods/ that points to the flare mods folder inside your Desura folder.
Thanks, but I think that symlink won't work to launch on Desura. Launching from Desura has a different error, like I wrote above, it can't find libjpeg.so.62. I would have placed a symlink to it already, but I have no idea where. The error you refer to happens when I try to launch manually from command line but my current dir is not the one Flare is installed to.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the PKGBUILD, I'll try that :) I'd have preferred to manage the game from within Desura, but that will do too :)
@dorkster thanks a lot, now it works :)
