i can't know you should check that those files are there in your setup

By "in your setup" you mean "on my system"? If that is the case, yes, they are there, which can be seen clearly from the output I have pasted. If there is a file after the '=>' arrow, it means that the library dependency was resolved to that physical file. You can even see that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH override is in effect, e.g.:

libCgGL.so => /home/rulatir/gry/PlaneShift/PlaneShift/libs/libCgGL.so (0xb76fa000)


remove it then it's conflicting. cs is never entirely statically linked it has a plugin interface so only one lib can be statically linked the main one the rest is in plugins and it's in the sub folders of the client CRYSTAL variables set around and/or floating plugins, which you probably have, give serious issues. no idea why it's big but you have to consider ps+cs base code base is quite big so it's not surprising a big executable (commercial games get around 50 80 mb like nothing for the main exe only)

I just removed the systemwide crystalspace and it made no difference.

"./pslaunch --repair" should help with this

OK it went through. Now the error is different.

Neither psclient nor pslaunch starts. Lots of "failed to load plugin" messages printed.

Bug 3493.

Then you are up to date.

Hmm, actually this seems to be the case. Some files under /opt/PlaneShift indeed have the date 7/22. The strange thing is that I didn't notice any activity on the part of the updater. The first time I ran it, I did it with the shortcut on the desktop and nothing seemed to happen. Is the linux updater supposed to display some GUI, or is it just a console program that did its job silently when I ran it with the shortcut?

Bump!

My problem is NOT the updaterinfo.xml problem, I had that problem and fixed it. The updater started saying "No updates needed!" after I fixed the updaterinfo.xml problem.

Config stuff is a bit strange, I will look into it.

Meanwhile could you please publish the format for the shortcuts file (including where exactly to put the file in the user's config directory; it seems the file isn't even created by the default install)? Pretty please! Assigning a few shortcuts (/loot, /dig gold) is essential to my gameplay and I am willing to edit the shortcut file manually in order to have them.
