Instalation under linux

[roach]

Well, I was looking all around the forum but i havent seen a single HOW-TO for linux instalation.So I did some googling and found this guide,that helps you compile planeshift from CVS. I hope im not the only linux user here and that this guide will help you.

Ok i found some time to follow the guide step by step and it works - at least the downloading/compiling part. The problem is that i cant run the game,when i try to run psclient or pssetup i get this error
--------------
DLERROR (/home/roach/planeshift/CS/gl3d.csplugin): libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl\'
No 3D driver!
crystalspace.maploader: Could not get video driver
crystalspace.maploader: Could not get model converter
crystalspace.maploader: Could not get model crossbuilder
psclient:  No 3d driver (iGraphics3D) plugin!
--------------

i\'ll browse some forums and try to fix it but it would be nice if some  one helped me.

Okay i got it,after asking some stupid questions on irc and googling i found this
-------------------
#!/bin/bash
cp /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629
/usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629.orig
cp /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629
/usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6629
-------------------
and IT WORKS. I hope you\'ll enjoy it as much as i do

EDIT:
one last problem occured,when i was creating my charater i got error that it couldnt load the meshes,this fixes it
-------------------
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/roach/planeshift/cal3d/src/cal3d/.libs
-------------------

just add it to that script you use to run psclient and you\'ll be fine

Thanks a lot, I\'ve finally got it working! For some obscure (to me at least) reason, PlaneShift (and CEL) do not want to work when installed. But if I simply follow your instructions to the letter and run it from the compilation folder, it works! Brilliant stuff

Bellow is a shortened version of the errors I got:

(installed cal3d, cs and cel into /usr/local, this is after a successful installation of all three)

[root@dhcppc2 planeshift]# export CEL=/usr/local
[root@dhcppc2 planeshift]# ./configure --enable-debug --enable-new-renderer
(...)
checking for cel... no
(...)

[root@dhcppc2 planeshift]# export CEL=/home/leinir/planeshift/cel
[root@dhcppc2 planeshift]# ./configure --enable-debug --enable-new-renderer
(...)
checking for cel... 0.99
