no 3d driver - gforce4 - suse9

[barxxo]

hi,

yesterday i installed the linux-version of planeshift on my suse9.2 with nvidia geforce4 mx440.
The setup went fine, but when i want to start with \"./client\" it says \"No 3d driver (iGraphics3D) plugin!\"
3d is enabled, i tested it with a 3d- racing simulation.

thanks for help

-edit:
./updater -auto replies:
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.kernel.vfs\'
ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?

but echo $CRYSTAL replies:
/usr/local/bin/planeshift/planeshift/

The CRYSTAL export has to be set to your CS dir, not your PS dir

....ooops.. changed...
Now ./updater replies

WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl\'
No 3D driver!
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.font.server.freetype2\'
ERROR: No iGraphics3D plugin!

Ok, 1st: check if gl3d.so exists in your CS dir. If yes, run ldd on it to see if it loads libGL and libnvidia(-tls). If not, run jam in the CS dir again to see why it failed to build. Do you also have the latest nvidia driver?

2nd: Do you have freetype2 installed? You may need the -devel package too (if it exists).

At first, thanks for your great help!

No :-(

I did, but couldn?t see any error messages, but \"gl3d.so\" was not listed.
Last message was \"...updated 51 targets...\"

Yes.

Hmmmm ok, let\'s try this: go to your CS dir, do a \'jam clean\', run configure and then \'jam -a\'. That helps sometimes when a plugin is missing.

Yes.. yes.. it worked.
Now i am able to start the client.
Next problem :-)
Even  though i started the updater, the client responds with :
you are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server.... hmm...

but i am very happy at least to see the login window :-)

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

You need to get a new checkout from CVS, since the netcode was increased once again some days ago, which makes older clients incompatible. And the server was recompiled yesterday

:-(  .. there is as the same linux-version as i got two days ago...
I am not practiced with cvs.
Did i understand you right?
I have to install cvs, then to download something and then recompile?

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

Just run ./update_code to download and compile the new client from CVS. You use kronon\'s installer, right?

[barxxo]

me again...

.\"/update_code\" did the download and started to compile.

But now ... after \"./client\" i get

\"./client: line5: ./psclient: file not found\"

:-( no login window anymore..

[barxxo]

seems that \"update_source\" killed some important files like updater and client.

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

Maybe your checkout has some compile errors. Run it again, it may work this time. If not, check if it created a logfile and post it.

Hi, Karosh_Steinkatz

I repeated everything as above mentioned, with the same effect.
As i read in this forum, there are problems with the linux-version of PS.
Now i wait until these problems are solved.
Thanks for your help.
