PLaneShift won't open

[Hidetsu_Kura]

I just got the new version of PlaneShift on my Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy and it won't open!
I installed normally as I installed the last time, bu tthis time it won't even oppen the "setup", "Updater" nor the PlaneShift client.

Can somebody help me with that!? 

I'm also on a x64 bit

thank you

I had same problems when I installed over the old installation. Try doing a clean install. Then try also running it from console. Might be the bad permissions again.

the client ships with bad wrapper scripts unless it has been rebuilt recently.
If you go to wherever the game is installed in a terminal and run

Code: [Select]

./psupdater.bin it should fix the problem.
I did a systemwide install and the scripts insited on looking for the binaries in the wrong place. Anyway if you try running from the command line you will see error messages which can help determine the source of the problem.

I am having the same issue, on OpnenSuse 10.3 (Not Using KDE 4 yet).

I ran it from the desktop and it does nothing. From the terminal I get this:

./psclient.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libCgGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any Ideas? I could always do a complete reinstall of the system, but of course I would prefer not to, if its possible.

That's only because you are using the binary directly, the wrapper script (psupdater) will do "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs/:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" which shows it where the static libraries are, try run that command in a terminal, then "./psupdater.bin".

[Seneche]

Thank you, that fixed it. However, now when running the updater I get this:

Checking for updates:
Checking for updates to the updater: Couldn't find config node in configfile!
No updates needed!
Checking for updates to all files: Updates Available!
Segmentation fault

It doesn't really matter though, as long as Planeshift works.

No. Just run

Code: [Select]

./psupdater while you are in the directory (and only there..) Then you don't have to mess with the variables directly.

@Seneche:
Try running the updater as root. Maybe that helps.

I put together a guide that takes you step by step through the installation process and includes some troubleshooting sections at the end.  Try running through the steps exactly as I describe and if you run into issues, refer to the troubleshooting section.  If that all fails please let me know exactly what did or didn't work so that I can improve it.  You really shouldn't need to be exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH each time, the wrapper scripts should handle it all for you.

@Jonerian

Yeah, that worked. I don't know what this issue was, but after I ran that in root, it now runs in user mode too.

[Jonerian]

If the updater doesn't need anything to update than you can also run it as normal user, but only after you did the first update (there was a change concerning this) and if there are no updates. If there are updates the updater needs to write some files (replace them) and normally the permissions are set, that only root can do that.
