Description:
Varius games (at least Baldur's gate ee 1 and 2) say that libjson.so.0 is missing and won't start.
Fixed with "ln /usr/lib32/libjson-c.so /usr/lib32/libjson.so.0".
It may be a good idea to create that symlink at package install?

Additional info:
* steam-native-runtime 1.0.0.52-8
* lib32-json-c 0.12.1-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Tested with Baldur's Gate 2, Enhanced Edition, as recommended by OP. Could not reproduce.

Why do people think that symlinking different library versions is a good idea? The soname is different for a reason.

I agree with Scimmia, its certainly not compatible even if on your first test it looks working, please don't do that. the current soname is .2 for reason. However I will see if its either feasible to create a shim version like udev0 or if that does not work out we will need a legacy version.

Ok, thanks! I'll look forward for next updates then :)

Couldn't reproduce with current steam-native; seems Beamdog probably fixed their dep in an update at some point.
