psserver segmentation fault

[davewb]

Hi

For the first time, I am trying to run \'psserver\' - on Ubuntu Linux.

As far as I can tell, everything has built ok... except I get a segmentation fault, after a bunch of plugin problems...

From the below transcript of a session, can someone spot if the errors are indicative of something obvious that is missing/incorrect about my psserver setup please?

Many thanks
Dave

What CS/CEL date did you use?  It should be 18th of February or later.  Did you build the cal3d plugin?  (and cal3d for that matter?)  Did you put the valid models.zip from the updater or package into your art dir, or change the cfg files to point to it?

[davewb]

thanks DaveG

For CS/CEL/cal3d I used 16th/17th Feb which is what is advised in the build-guides in /docs folder of PS. Is that now incorrect?

I built it as per the build-guides so I assume the cal3d plugin is there but I shall check.

As for models.zip, I ran updater after building so again I assume its correct...

[DaveG]

Dates are good, and you should be working...  hmm...  Check for stickies; make sure you have updated all the sources clean.  (this looks like an older bug that was in CS, but is fixed at that point; make sure you\'ve updated the entire thing)  Make sure you actually have the real models.zip, with the enkim.cal3d file it wants inside.  Check to make sure you also have your CRYSTAL env var set.

[davewb]

We have Success

I have upped cal3d/CS/cel to 18th Feb.

I copied the models.zip from my \'playing\' PS install into my PS-development install and it now works - I think.. does this imply that updater for my PS-dev install got the wrong models.zip?

Just to confirm: the \'world\' is very much reduced: a square field, with a smithy, various dwarfs and a couple of guys standing about, potions lying around, etc...

A case of RTFM I think I have confirmed this myself by reading build-faqs in the PS CVS...

[DaveG]

Much testing just needs the NPC room map.  (it\'s on Laanx too, and is used as a staging area for GMs)  However, you can load each map from the server with the loadmap command.  Laziest thing to do is to just make a script to load all the maps, and do \"exec this/filename\" with the script in the PS dir.

@davewb: I\'m running the exact same OS as you are, and I seem to have had this problem. For the moment I\'ve been loading psserver without the \"spawn\" step. I\'ll see if your solution works for me too.

(EDIT: And it hasn\'t. Sigh.

I don\'t know why. . . Cal3d, CS and Cel are all from the Mar 15 build date, and Planeshift is the latest version.

Also, this is the export section I\'ve added to .bashrc, if that will help anyone:

export MYSQL=/usr/local/mysql
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rgandy/Development/cal3d/src/cal3d/.libs/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export CRYSTAL=/home/rgandy/Development/CS
export CEL=/home/rgandy/Development/cel
export CSCONFPATH=/home/rgandy/Development/cel)
