Cannot start megaglest 3.3.4.3

[lio_013]

hi all
i just download those files

Code: [Select]

megaglest3.3.4.3_i386_linux_bin.tar.bz2
megaglest-data-3.3.3.7z

my system is PCLinuxos  2010 that based on mandriva 2010
i extract those files in one directory  and start from the file called (glest )
i got this error

Code: [Select]

[ahmed@Lenovo glest]$ ./glest
default openal library was found in [/usr/lib/libopenal.so.0]
default directfb library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
default fusion library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
default direct library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...

then i tried another file from bin directory i got

Code: [Select]

[ahmed@Lenovo bin]$ ./glest.bin
Segmentation fault

I don't know, you could try re installing it or re downloading it, but other then that, I have no idea, I wish I could help. some of the others may have a solution though.

[Gabbe]

yes, tit or soft mite be able to help. try pm them or wahtev.

Ok 32 or 64 bit? Mega-Glest does work on 64 bit but requires an additional special package to support 32 bit binaries.

[lio_013]

my pc is 32bit
i didnot install it i download those binary file they suppose to work directly

[softcoder]

ok edit glest.ini:

DebugMode=true

then when you run fro ma terminal do you get any error output?

[lio_013]

same errors nothing change

Code: [Select]

[ahmed@Lenovo glest]$ ./glest
default openal library was found in [/usr/lib/libopenal.so.0]
default directfb library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
default fusion library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
default direct library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
[ahmed@Lenovo glest]$ cd bin
[ahmed@Lenovo bin]$ ls
glest.bin*  glest_configurator*  glest_editor*  glest_g3dviewer*
[ahmed@Lenovo bin]$ ./glest.bin
Segmentation fault
[ahmed@Lenovo bin]$

i will try to compile from source and use the same data file

[softcoder]

Ok, it is possible that somehow you are missing dependencies? Do you have a glest.ini in the main glest folder? If you run glest.bin (from the bin folder) it won't find glest.ini since it looks in the same folder as the binary. Do you have a glest.log file with any info in it?

Thanks

@softcoder:
What are these libs for?

Code: [Select]

default directfb library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
default fusion library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
default direct library is missing, attempting to find and link to a different location if available...
Are they new to megaglest?
Why are they checked?

@lio_013:
I cannot see any serious error in your output when starting with ./glest . Does glest work or not? If it works ignore these messages!
Glest starts up with a black screen, you have to wait some seconds or press the mousebutton.

[softcoder]

Those dependencies were always there for glest. I just added more linked file mappings in the case of 64 bit users so the startup script would link to the properly libs

[madnorthnorthwest]

Hey, I have the same problem after formatting my system and setting it up again. I was also thinking about missing dependencies but I can't remember having to take care of that when I installed the game before.

Oh, I'm on OpenSuse 11.2 64bit, by the way.

[titi]

If you get exactly the same error, the same 3 libs are missing for you. You have to install them:

directfb
fusion
direct

[madnorthnorthwest]

hm, well I checked and I have those things installed. Still, I get this:

./bin/glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

as for the libSDL-1.2.so.0 I tried to get that from here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/libSDL-1.2.so.0%28%29%2864bit%29

But when I try to install the rpm, it says that it conflicts with file from package libSDL-1_2-0-1.2.13-112.3.x86_64 

[madnorthnorthwest]

I installed Glest from the Suse repositories and I can start that. So shouldn't megaglest work just fine?

[titi]

looks like the program ldconfig is missing or not in the path.

[madnorthnorthwest]

could it be that it's not working because I'm on a 64bit system? I'm trying the glest64.sh but I couldn't find the ia32-libs. I installed what I thought was the equivalent for Suse but I could have been wrong I guess. Is there another way to get the ia32-libs?

[softcoder]

try maybe deleting the files in the glest lib folder and see if the script can link to your libs

[madnorthnorthwest]

try maybe deleting the files in the glest lib folder and see if the script can link to your libs

tried that. Nothing has changed.

[softcoder]

Point me to the link where I can download the ISO for your exact version of your Linux Distro and I'll try it myself.

[madnorthnorthwest]

I got it from a Linux Magazine DVD.
But I'll try Kubuntu this weekend because this annoys me.

[madnorthnorthwest]

so, I'm on Kubuntu  now. Got the ia32-libs, could install Megaglest with the installer but can't start it. If I try to start it via the K-Menu, it starts loading for a couple of seconds and that's it. Nothing happens. I got the glest64.sh and when I try to start that from the terminal I get that stupid message again.

./bin/glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

might building it from the source code change anything? If so, how do I do that?

[softcoder]

Try downloading and extracting the latest alpha5 update (which has some of those missing libs in the lib folder)

http://soft-haus.com/glest/titi/megaglest3.3.5-alpha5_i386_linux_bin.tar.bz2

[Super Tom]

Today, I tested the windows version of the latest glest: megaglest3.3.5-alpha5_i386_win32.
But I found a problem: When I enter the game choose a good play against my faction with AI when the game was found in a time of loading data "glest not responding" and the game screen to black. In some cases the game is loaded process the data will automatically collapse, my operating system is windows vista
Thank you.

[ultifd]

Hi tom, wait until the next alpha...I think people already have had these problems... 
Thanks anyways, but please have patience... 

[madnorthnorthwest]

So I'm back on Suse. I downloaded the megaglest3.3.5-alpha8_i386_linux_bin today. Tried starting the game via the sh and kept looking at the glest.log. I was missing 3 or 4 dependencies because I only had the 64bit versions. Installed the 32bit ones and suddenly, when I ran the glest.sh again, the screen went black as if to start the game. But then it didn't. The glest.log says the following now:

This should be solved easily right?

edit: same happens with the glest64.sh file. By the way, I can't find a dmp file.
