Seg Fault everytime as entering world [RH 9 Linux]

[Bau]

Everytime I attempt to connect to the world, I am hit with a Segmentation Fault right as I\'m entering the world, I\'m not exactly sure how libraries work under linux so if I need to re-install anything I\'ll need a quick explanation on how to uninstall (if not don\'t worry about it ;) )

This is a \"small\" snippit of the output created in my xterm, Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have to cut out some text due to post limits but let me know if any other information is needed, and I\'ll provide it

Actually now that I mention it  where can I find that art thats supposed to be coppied from the windows version?

[acraig]

( assuming Molecular Blue build here )

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/planeshift/planeshift.tar.gz?download

replace the CVS art dir with this one:

tar -xvzf planeshift.tar.gz planeshift/art

[Bau]

That did the trick, I\'m in the world, now if I can figure out what I did wrong to make it freeze every few seconds for half a second I\'ll be good =)

Thanks for the quick reply

I have a similar problem, I\'m using debian and I can run the pssetup and the charactor creation, but when I try and load the world it seg faults with thsi:

...
Load TYPE plugin crystalspace.mesh.object.emit
WARNING! Object \'_p_laanx_entrance2hydlaa_plaza\' is not closed!
./psclient: line 6: 19083 Segmentation fault      ./psclient-bin

II searched for debian and seg faults, and libc was blamed, but  Ijust apt-geted version 2.3.2-8 from unstable, so that should be a problem... I also tried complieing from source, but sndogg.so isn\'t made and other problems.

Also, there are a lot of errors saying:
crystalspace.graphic.image.io.jpeg: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50
what could that mean?
oh, and one last thing... aparently on this latest attempt, pssetup isn\'t saving the config, it was before....

[Armisael]

I\'m getting the exact same probelm as zabeal, char creation goes fine, just can\'t load the world, with a segfault.  Same error even.  I got Planeshift from http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/planeshift/planeshift.tar.gz

Is there something I\'m missing...?

[Fraggy]

First off, thanks to acraig for trying to help me out for getting the ebuild to work (found some other fix which I have explained in the gentoo forums at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=582264#582264 )

I don\'t believe my new problem is necessarily similar but it is yet still a segfault.  The game seems to be loading fine but just after it loads the Player List it starts getting a little funky with the crystalspace engine:

crystalspace.engine.warning: Couldn\'t load cached lighting for 2849 object(s):

Segmentation fault

...and then promptly quits.  I\'m not much of a graphics coder myself so I\'m not sure what to really make of this.  acraig you out there?

[Thephyrr]

Sorry to bring this up again, but I segfault at exactly the same position. I compiled everything myself and have the newest artwork package from the website. Any suggestions ?

Make sure you compile in debug mode and try getting a stack trace.  \'Segmentation fault\' does not give me enough to figure this out.   But in reality it is probably not worth the time since the new release will be ( relatively ) soon and we will have a whole new batch of segfaults to deal with
