I made my first puppy package today, for Tibia

The dependency "libGLU.so.1" is missing apparently. It would be nice if you could provide a link to download it. Thanks!

you can install it with petget, it is called xorg_xorg_dri-7.3-1.pet for Puppy 4.

It is part of the 3D OpenGL library, that for Puppy is bundled with the dri modules, that provide hardware accelleration for graficscards.

OHH aww lame. When I install that, X won't run. Nevermind then.. I suppose I cannot play it.

ok, so try it without DRI.
Download:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/xorg_xorg_dri-7.3-1.pet
To a temporary folder like /root/test/.

Extract it:
cd /root/test
tar -xzvf xorg_xorg_dri-7.3-1.pet
Ignore the error you get, it is related to the .pet format and does not matter here.
This creates a folder /usr.
Look in it for the libGL files, and copy them to /usr/X11R7/lib/.

Then applications that depend on them should work, they just have no accelleration.
For 2D games like tibia this should not matter.
Just 3D games like Quake will run slow or refuse to run.

Sorry for not mentioning the dependency, it just ran for me so didn't think about it, turns out the NVIDIA package I have installed provides the openGL library.
I tried the package on a fresh puppy, and it did complain about the missing libGLU.so.1
The fix proposed by MU won't work, I get this:
