I want to play the game Aquaria in a Debian Wheezy 64 bits. The installation went ok, but when trying to play the game I get these errors:
ALSA lib conf.c:3314:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so ALSA lib control.c:951:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0 AL lib: alsa.c:1000: control open (0): No such file or directory Message: SDL_GL_LoadLibrary Error: Failed loading libGL.so.1
I have added 32 bit compatibility with dpkg --add-architecture i386 and I think that the required libraries are present in the system since typing locate libasound_module_conf_pulse.so yields:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
and locate libGL.so.1:
/etc/alternatives/glx--libGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fglrx/libGL.so.1
However, it seems that Debian is ignoring them. What can I do to play Aquaria?

Method 1
It seems you’re missing the 32-bit libraries (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu contains 64-bit libraries).
Now, let’s figure out which packages you need for your libraries:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so libasound2-plugins:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
So you need 32-bit versions of these packages:
# apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
In general, before you can install any 32-bit libraries, you must add the i386 architecture to dpkg:
# dpkg --add-architecture i386 # apt-get update
Update
Since the above didn’t solve the libGL.so.1 issue and it seems from your ldd output that Aquaria can see all its required libraries, I googled the libGL.so.1 error message and two things came up. Please try the following 2 solutions in order:
-
As explained here try symlinking
libGL.so.1:ln -sv /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
Note that I modified the paths from the answer I linked to so that they’re relevant to Debian instead.
- The answer here suggests that you need to install
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386(which you’ve already done) pluslibgl1-mesa-dri:i386(which is what I’m suggesting you try next).
Update: What finally worked
apt-get purge libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 ln -s /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
