Not really, I mean it can\'t be run on 64-bit platforms, and everyone wll need roughly the same system type for it to run anyway, as well as it not being optimized for the system as well as it could, and you have to wait for it to be updated when there\'s a network code change and you need a new version to login to the server, where the official one works on all platforms, and you can update it from the cvs as soon as the server is updated so you don\'t have to wait and stuff... but this one is quicker if you have a slow machineSo it\'s a balance
Not sure if this is still the right place to talk about this (the post is a little old).
The binary installer actually does work for AMD64, though it needs some command line options to run correctly. I\'m running an FX-53 and I\'ve found that many 32-bit programs just need a couple options in order to function. The \"LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4\" prefix is needed on really new kernels in order to use the correct threading and the \"linux32\" option is needed to set the appropriate memory options. This results in the following execution:
cd
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 linux32 ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.007-1.x86.run
After installing I needed to change the SELinux permissions on the libraries by running \"chcon -t shlib_t *.so\" in the planeshift directory and then LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 linux32 psclient worked fine. For reference, i\'m running Fedora Core 4 (Rawhide).
So it\'s a balance
