Ubuntu 16.4 , need i386 libGL.so.1 I think (but not for Steam)

Question

The error message looks like this:

/home/myusername/zyzzyva-3.1.0/bin/NASPAZyzzyva310: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This software (naspa-zyzzyva) is given to me pre-compiled without source code so I don't have the option of compiling it. It's supposed to have a license to use some parts of it.

It sort of seems like I could find the library (libGL.so.1) in mesa somehow but I am not clear on what is going on. It seems the 32 bit libraries are organized differently in 16.4 vs. 14.x and 17.x, so some of the answers I find can not be applied.

Is there a way to make it be found automatically? Or do I need to do apt-get mesa:i386 or what ...

Thanks :)

Never mind, I found it. This answers it, even though it is for Steam! https://askubuntu.com/questions/731426/missing-libgl-so-1-when-trying-to-launch-steam — Hill of Beans, Nov 12 '17 at 03:25

The answer here is making it work

Missing libGL.so.1 when trying to launch Steam

This installs the 32-bit graphics libraries that are needed.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

Also note that if you wanna play games, 16.04 has an old software. There were lots of changes you'd like for performance both in kernel and in Mesa. – Hi-Angel Nov 12 '17 at 08:25
