Installing/compiling from source of planeshift on CentOS 5.4

[virajithj]

Hi,

I am trying to install the official Planeshift client on CentOS 5.4. However, after the install, when I run ./psclient, I get an error saying:
./psclient.bin: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./psclient.bin)
./psclient.bin: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by libs/libjpeg.so.

This error seems to be because of the libc version being used by CentOs. Is there a way to get rid of this and run the game on CentOS?

probably build it ... looks like centos has a bit too old libraries

@weltall: I tried compiling the client from source code but was getting an error when I ran it. Here is the post that I had posted in another forum regarding it: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=38403.0
Can you help me figure this out?

Thanks a lot!!

you are missing at least the skin and the base skin files. you need to fetch them from the distro client

I have tried by using the art from the official client install but was then getting this same error. I believe I changed the  skins parameters in the .cfg file to point to elves.zip as that is the only default .zip file in the art of the official client.

client_base.zip is another file

Ok. I think I am a bit confused here. I have compiled the client from source code and create an art/ directory in the PS root dir in which I placed the files of the art/ dir which comes along with the official client. I am not sure what skins I am missing. The error is the following: http://fpaste.org/9ndK/ and gdb gives the following reason for seg fault:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

80                           rets.Push(tloader->LoadShader(vfs->GetCwd(), file->GetContentsValue()));

Can someone help me figure out what exactly is the art work that I am missing and if that is the real reason for this error.

Thanks a lot!

that one menas i fails to parse data/shader/shaderlist.xml properly

centos is more of a server os than a desktop os but works as both really but honestly i'd suggest you upgrade to centos 5.5, you'll still get that glibc error as i think centos has 2.5 or something.

may not be a bad idea especially with centos 6 being on it's way (which will also resolve the glibc error (for now))
