Title: For Linux users to test - Planeshift libs and binaries package.
Post by: Platyna on March 26, 2005, 03:00:11 am

Since single binary is not enought, like it used to be ;) I have prepared
a package that includes everything, except art, what is needed to run the
new Planeshift client on Linux. So, you need to already installed old copy
of the game and grab from it the art directory.

What you have to do is:
1. Download http://platyna.xpam.de/planeshift/planeshift.tar.bz2
2. Unpack it: tar -jxf planeshift.tar.bz2
3. Copy or symlink the art directory to package directory (named planeshift).
4. Enter the directory and run psclient by typing ./psclient to start the game.

It is compiled on glibc 2.3.3, if you have some other version I can\'t
guarantee it will work.

It is also required so all these files will be put like they are in the archive.
Some people are trying to copy libs and stuff to /usr/lib and binaries to
/usr/bin - it is not going to work.

If you have problems with missing files in the art directory, run the updater.


Regards.

Terminal says:

DLERROR (/home/borja/Juegos/planeshift/glx2d.csplugin): /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4\' not found (required by /home/borja/Juegos/planeshift/glx2d.so)

My Ubuntu (Hoary) only has glibc_2.3.2, is that the problem?

Platyna:
Don\'t tell people that they need glibc 2.3.3 when they really need 2.3.4 ;)

Epicman:
Yeah, you need a newer glibc if you want to run it.

Edit: Runs fine for me :) (thanks to glibc 2.3.4) ;)

Karosh: Whatever you say, I have glibc 2.3.3 installed, it works on 2.3.3
and 2.3.4 - because my friend has tested it. No idea why it demands 2.3.4,
but I had once similar problem with X server package when it demanded
2.3.4, I have installed 2.3.3 and it works.
platinum:/home/platyna$ ls -l /var/log/packages/ | grep glibc

Hmm, strange... but it demands 2.3.4  ?(
looks like something is borked :D

That\'s good if it is broken, better if it works with two versions of glibc than
only one. ;) Anyway if you tested it and it works post here too.

Regards.

this files gives me the same error when i\'m trying to connect:
You are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server

Edit:
Sorry... i was in the old dir so it maybe can work for me now if i update my glibc

Post by: Platyna on March 26, 2005, 06:41:52 pm

If it cries about wrong glibc version then you have to update to 2.3.4.

Yes i saw that, the only problem now is that i think glibc 2.3.4 is not a package yet in Debian unstable.

Title:
Post by: Platyna on March 26, 2005, 06:58:51 pm

How about 2.3.3? I am using 2.3.3 and it works...

Regards.

Post by: mrzoom on March 26, 2005, 07:03:30 pm

Debian is useing libc6 and libc6 = glibc?

How ever the unstable version is 2.3.2 right now, but there is an exprimental 2.3.4 but i don\'t know if it safe to install it.

Title:
Post by: Platyna on March 26, 2005, 07:19:56 pm

Unless they applied any patches, 2.3.4 seems to be good version of glibc,
I am using it on several machines and never had any sad surprises.

Maybe i can install it local i my home-dir and make i link so that just ps use it.

But i don\'t know how i do it.

I don\'t know if this is a good idea. Unfortunately with Debian there are
always problems with old software. :-(

Or you could just wait until I finished uploading the new client and run the updater ;)

Sounds like a plan. :)

Are we talking hours? Days? Weeks? Years?

So, you are going to prepare the package on glibc 2.3.2?

Yepp, and it\'s finished and ready to get now.

Thanks a lot to you and Platyna ! It works, and Planeshift has really done very huge progress since the last time I tried it !!
*happy* :-D

Post by: Epicman on March 27, 2005, 02:42:33 pm

I\'ve tried the new client and it works great.

I\'ve played the game and I think it\'s really wonderful. :-)

Great job!
