Linux 0.3.014 client [temporary solution]

[acraig]

I am hoping we can do a bit of redesign on the updater to make it both easier for us to keep the data up to date and easier for people to get the updates.   Right now it is a bit of a pain to do several different platforms at once I can understand it\'s fustrating for players in other ( ie non-windows platfroms, me being in gentoo myself ) not to get updates in the updater.    

So we are tossing around a few ideas for an improved updater but will be some time before we can put anything into action.

That\'ll be coming soon

acraig: that\'d be great!

Xordan: thanks - means a lot :]

btw, while we\'re at it ...will there be a possibility to have an ebuild again for PS?

StarsAndBars_1018: It\'s (sub)project for PS that I manage ...that\'s all I\'m saying on the forums We have to migrate our database again (man, we\'re lazy!).

ok for those who had the libXaw problem, and still couldn\'t fix ti with the link,

cd into /usr/lib

and do the following

ls | grep libXaw

that will return the link to your actualy libXaw version, then link

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXaw.so.* /usr/lib/libXaw.so.8

where * is your number

Hook and anyone else looking for an amd64 version - see post 2 at the top.

This isn\'t an official relase, probably doesn\'t use the latest code, doesn\'t work properly with sound, and definitely doesn\'t work with Oja road (hopefully soon) - but it works for me.

Try it if you like.

Of course when there\'s an official (even -ish) version, hooray!  We can start using that.

[For Xordan et al, just read that back and it sounds a bit sarcastic, but wasn\'t meant that way - I\'m looking forward to a new full release too.  Sorry if it sounded like it did when I read it myself - Keep up the good work ]

EDIT - And thanks Druke fot the art too,

ok, thanks, I did\'nt know it was first develloped on windows ...

thanks, the symlins works, but for me (debian stable) :

 ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so  /usr/lib/libXaw.so.8

symlink = \"symboly link\" = \"a type of true \'shortcut\' for a file that is really powerfull\" :
under windows, you only have 1 type of sepcial files : the dirrectory, and a shortcut is just a binary&text file with a .lnk extention. each program needs to be able to understand them itself for them to work, and that exlains a lots of bugs / shortcuts not working.

under Unix, you have plenty of types of special files, and one of them is  \"symbolic link\" : a symbolic link can be seen as a shortcut to another file, but is managed by Unixes kernels. Thus, under Linux, when a program open a symbolic link, Linux make it open the target file instead. (To use a technical word : it is transparent for the programmer and for the user).

the Unix (and thus Linux) command to create links is ln
(you need to had -s to the ln command in order to create a simbolic link, overwise, you give 2 different names to the same file)

(and I know : you\'ll tell me GNU)
