Easy way to install Planeshift

[malverian]

Version 1.2 of the scripts has been released. See top of thread for information on using.

[lokiin]

I tried to download the script, but I get the dreaded 404 not found page!

[lokiin]

Hi, I downloaded the file: easy_planeshift-1.2.tar.gz and after running ./build and ./psrun updater -auto and then ./psrun psclient I get this error:

$ ./psrun psclient
Executing command: ./psclient
SCF_ERROR: metadata retrieval error for /home/planeshift/easy_planeshift/binaries/planeshift/pssound.so: Warning: /home/planeshift/easy_planeshift/binaries/planeshift/pssound.so has embedded data and .csplugin file, using embedded.

No 3D driver!
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.font.server.freetype2\'
psclient:  No 3d driver (iGraphics3D) plugin!

Not sure what to do.

Do you have a 3D graphic card, nvidia being the best for Linux, but latest ATI cards should work as well? And if yes, do you have drivers for your graphic card installed?

[lokiin]

Yes, I have an Nvidia GeForce2 card - all works well, but for some reason not for PS. I read something a bit ago about having nvidia development headers installed. I\'m using Debian and can\'t find them in the repositories and for nvidia drivers I would think Debian has them.

This error happens when you try to build without a bunch of dev packages for X installed - look for them in your repositories - apt-cache search xorg dev or something or use synaptic.  Find all the developement files for your xorg or xfree X windows system.  That way you can build with a 3d cdriver

It\'s not quite working out for me...

~/easy_planeshift $ ./build -version

Code: [Select]

Version 1.1

~/easy_planeshift $ ./build diagnose

Code: [Select]

When reporting problems, include the output of this command.

seemsto be CEL related so i checked out the binaries/cel/bin folder and found the \'celtst\' script, so i ran that and got a fatal error: \"CEL physical layer missing\".

Ok guys, this is a fault in cel. One of the files on the cvs is corrupt or something, so when you download it, you don\'t get it properly. To solve this just download the nightly snapshot of cel and compile it instead of the cvs one you have.

Get the latest one:

http://cel.sourceforge.net/cvs-snapshots/bzip2/cel-current-snapshot.tar.bz2

Maybe your script should get the snapshot, instead of a cvs checkout...

Hello !

There is nothing wrong with Your computer.

Sometimes SourceForge server behaves like that, I think it is overloaded from time to time. Try again later.

Nothing wrong here either, I assume You are downloading sources for the first time. \" was lost\" means that You haven\'t the on your disk yet. \"U \" means, that was successfuly retrieved.

[Teias]

OK, I understand now...I thought that these files were \"really lost\"...
It should work now...Thanks a lot...

[Induane]

THe scripts (incorrectly) detect that I have an outdated version of automake on my pc... why is that?  I have version 1.9

The version I have works as I can build manually with no trouble - its just the scripts that fail.

[Wired_Crawler]

What does \"automake --version\" say ?

[Teias]

Hello !

First, I must mention that I\'m really new to Linux...

I have download the right cel file, I put it in .../easy_planeshift/sources/cel instead of the old one...but I didn\'t manage to compile it...
I always get :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Crystal Space could not be found or was unusable. The latest version is
*** always available from http://www.crystalspace3d.org/
*** Also, be sure that you have either installed Crystal Space or set the
*** CRYSTAL environment variable properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I assume the last proposal is the good one...so I tried to \"set the CRYSTAL environment variable properly\"
...but obviously I failed as I always get this error message...(shame on me)

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks in advance

[Induane]

looks good to me....

[Wired_Crawler]

@Induane: Yes, looks good... Then You will have to play with scripts/check_deps.sh. Bugs are everywhere, They can be found even in simple scripts

@Telas:

I have download the right cel file, I put it in .../easy_planeshift/sources/cel instead of the old one...but I didn\'t manage to compile it...

Hmm... easy_planeshift downloads all sources for You, if You are using different version of CEL, You also must download and compile appropriate CrystalSpace version first.

I assume the last proposal is the good one...so I tried to \"set the CRYSTAL environment variable properly\" ...but obviously I failed as I always get this error message...(shame on me)

Either You haven\'t set that variable properly or CS is not compiled/installed yet.
The way of setting variables depends on type of shell You use, but I think You use bash, the most common shell in linux world. Before running configure script You must enter something like this:

CRYSTAL=\"/path/to/crystal/space/dir\"
export CRYSTAL

or in one line:

export CRYSTAL=\"/path/to/crystal/space/dir\"

Read Linux installation guides, they contain information, what variables must be set and how to do it.
