[acraig]

I would suggest checking out and following exactly these instructions. At let me know the exact step that fails.

i made a psclient file in my /bin DIR:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/hk/molblue/planeshift
export CRYSTAL=/home/hk/molblue/CS/
export CEL=/home/hk/molblue/cel/
export CSCONFPATH=$CEL
./updater
./psclient

then he loads the splash screen and the menue sound begins but then it stops and nothing happens.

[Cyrix]

ok i fixed some errors. i set as root \"chown -R hk planeshift/\" and now the updater runs, give me some time to look if the game now works, lets see

[Cyrix]

ok, here now the last post with the errors:

Ok. To me that looks like the PNG image loader plugin was not built.  Can you go to your CS dir and try:

jam -q cspngimg

and see what that reports?


Note that if you build from source you should not need to ( and probably shouldn\'t ) run the updater application.

[Cyrix]

Hi acraig,

thanks a lot for your help! :-)

---

jam -q cspngimg
don\'t know how to make cspngimg
...found 1 target(s)...
...can\'t find 1 target(s)...

that\'s the output.

Well, it\'s 10 pm here in Canada .

To me this says that Crystal Space cannot build the png loader.  You should check the config.log file in the CS dir to see what that says.  For me it is:

configure:14975: checking for libpng
configure:15064: gcc -o conftest          conftest.c -lpng -lz -lm  >&5
configure:15067: $? = 0

Which shows that it can detect the libpng libraries that are needed.  You may need to download the libpng development stuff ( try searching on google for that ).  Or you can send some mail to the crystal space mailing list (   crystal-main@lists.sourceforge.net ) asking for advice on why this is not being built.

[Cyrix]

ok i try but when i look into the config.log there are many things that are not build correctly. maybe i should install crystal new. but first i try to find the dev-stuff-png thing.

here are the failre of libpng:

configure-jam:12024: checking for libpng
configure-jam:12113: gcc -o conftest   -g -O2     conftest.c -lpng -lz  >&5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2.2/../../../libpng.so: undefined reference to `pow\'

[Cyrix]

problem fixed. i redownloaded the cvs version of crystal like in your tutorial and used

./configure
make -k all

and not \"jam\". now the character creation screen works.

[NemeSys]

Hei!

I\'m new to Linux so i\'m happy i made it this far, but it\'s still not working.

I followed the Howto in this board and then i tested cs and cel like in your manual. When i start the client i get this:

(and i did run ./configure)

do you have any idea what the problem is? my OS is redhat 9, mayby you need to know.

Okay, I may be able to throw some light on this subject. I\'ve just managed to build full source and art tarball - I had the same problem with png support. It needs to be linked with libm for various functions (including pow()) which \'configure-jam\' wasn\'t doing (although interestingly, \'configure\' was - hence why Cyrix\'s worked).

I dredged through \'configure-jam\' and \'configure-jam.ac\' but got lost in the mire and gave up trying to tell it that it needed to link with lib m, so I fudged it by setting the CFLAGS enironment variable to \'-lm\' whilst running \'configure-jam\'! It then sucessfully detected libpng and built CS with png support!. Hurrah!

So it looks like you need to tell \'configure-jam\' that libpng needs libm, but I don\'t know autoconf, so I\'ll leave you to do that one.

Incidentally, you may want to change this post title to something slightly more informative!!
