Railroad Tycoon II for Linux
                  ============================

                 Patch 1.54b - Dynamic Version

This is the dynamically linked version of the Railroad Tycoon II game binary,
as of version 1.54.w of the game. This binary is thus smaller than the normal
static binary, and it depends upon the presence of the following shared
libraries :

     libsmjpeg-0.2.so.0
     libSDL-1.1.so.0
     libpthread.so.0
     libX11.so.6
     libXext.so.6
     libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
     libm.so.6
     libc.so.6
     libesd.so.0
     libdl.so.2
     /lib/ld-linux.so.2
     libaudiofile.so.0

This binary is compiled for GNU libc 2.1 ONLY and it is NOT officially
supported by Loki. The purpose of this special release is to allow
developers to use their own custom versions of some of those libraries
with the game.


GETTING ADDITIONAL SHARED LIBRARIES
===================================

Most of the required libraries are part of all standard Linux distributions
(this binary was built on a Red Hat 6.1 system). However, you may need to
get those libraries separately at the following locations :

  - SDL 1.1 : http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/download-1.1.html
  - SMJPEG 0.2 : http://www.lokigames.com/development/smjpeg.php3


INSTALLING THIS PATCH

This patch applies against an installation of the full game ALREADY UPGRADED
TO THE STATIC 1.54b PATCH. You need to apply all previous patches before
applying this patch.

Just run the script by typing the following from the command line :

     sh rt2-dynamic-1.54b-x86.run

It will prompt you for the installation path of the game. If different
from the default (/usr/local/games/RT2), type the name of the directory
where you installed the game.
