Linux install problem...

[witerabit]

This is kind of an embarrasing way to intoduce myself in a forum that I will be spending a lot of time in (if all goes well, anyway), but I don\'t think I have a choice.
I tried installing the tar ball and that failed.  Went looking in here for a solution and came across the shell script to install it, so I ran that hoping everthing would be fine.  Unfortunately, no...  this is what gets spat out at me...

[root@witerabit planeshift]# ./psclient -verbose
no CEL environment variable set!

Is your CRYSTAL environment var set?
[root@witerabit planeshift]# locate vfs.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.2/components/libnkgnomevfs.so
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/filesystems/libgnome-vfs.so
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstgnomevfs.so

I saw a few similar problems in a couple of threads, but none of them appeared to be resolved...  so now I plead to someone for assitance.
Anyone who helps me get this running gets my eternal gratitude, which is not something to be scoffed at.  

Hope to kill bad things with you all sometime soonish.........

Well, last things first, there are no monsters or combat system in the current version, you must wait patiently for the next release, which will be out \"soon\" and have all sorts of good stuff.

It looks like you never set the  CRYSTAL environment variable. you can set it with this command, and if you use bash, the command next after export would cause it to set automatically each time you opened a shell.

Code: [Select]


$ export CRYSTAL=/root/molblue/CS
$ echo \"export CRYSTAL=/root/molblue/CS\" >> ~/.bashrc


You also need to compile CEL if you haven\'t and set the CEL environment variable in a similar fashion to the CRYSTAL variable. The script should have done this, and you should have a folder named cel right above planeshift.

Yeah as josephoenix said you havn\'t done the exports (actually there are three of them).

export CRYSTAL=/home//molblue/CS/
export CEL=/home//molblue/cel/
export CSCONFPATH=/home//molblue/cel/

Though this relies on you using the sugested pathnames.

You will have to use these before you configure and before you run the program unless you manage to store the exports (something which failed for me).

If the exports are not stored open up a text file and enter the following.

export CRYSTAL=/home//molblue/CS/
export CEL=/home//molblue/cel/
export CSCONFPATH=/home//molblue/cel/
./psclient

Now save it and make it an executable using chmod.  Now when you want to play PS just run that file

Fantastic, guys.  Thanks so much for the quick and helpful responses.  Once I\'m done playing RYL I\'ll be sure to boot back into FC to test it...  (I actually got PS working just fine under windows, but if I have the option, why on Earth would I do that?  )

Nice to see a game with what appears to be a good community base.  Hopefully this shall be what we\'ve all been waiting for...  a MMROPG with the fun, depth and community rivaling that of a taple top game...

Look forward to slashing monsters with you in the next release.

I just noticed you\'re both from NZ.  Even better.  A nice local contigent shall be brilliant.
