[v0.4.01(5) Problems] unable to load iGraphics3d [Ubuntu 64-bit AMD64]

[XWNI]

Hi All,

Just posting this for visibility.  Currently, my Planeshift install on AMD64 Ubuntu will not work.  I cannot start psclient or pssetup.

When starting from the console, the game is complaining about not being able to find/load a 3D driver.

Unable to load iGraphics3d.

sounds like you are missing  some libs on your system or you dont have X configured correctly.

Hi,  thanks for the reply -

Nope, this one seems to be specific to the new planeshift update.

My PS install was working fine with 0.4.00(1).   ldd of the psclient.bin shows that all libraries are matched up, none ar missing.

When the update is added, it falls over (going back to a fresh install of 0.4.00 allows the client to load).

If the problem isn't obvious, I'll try to grab someone later on IRC.  I'm working atm, so am not able to spend time on my PS installation at the moment.

I should be around sometime after 18.30hrs UTC  (2008-06-30).

Okay, so now I'm confused.

 I reinstalled planeshift, as an unprivileged user, using the x64 download.   The good news, it's now working, and I can log in 

Unfortunately, my "broken" install, the one that couldn't load iGraphics3d has also started working.     The reinstall was to a different directory, and was carried out as a normal user without root access, so my system libs  can't have been touched.

I ran a diff between the two installs using sha1sum, and they-re mostly identical.   The sha1sums were different however between some of the updated xml files, and the fresh install.  looking a little closer, the xml files were identical, except that the updated ones have the chr(13) carriage return (^M) in vi. 

There were differences in psclient.cfg, but that's to be expected -- mainly that the older install had extra stuff like my userid/password and a load of window positions in the config.  Also an increased buffer size for alsa.

Anyway, seeing as how both are working, I'm back to using my original, updatered install.
