no rooms error

I am getting a "no rooms" error in the main base hanger. I can't see the pub and other options that I am supposedly supposed to find there. I would put this in the bug tracker but I saw from a previous forum post that a bug report like this had been closed out, so I think I am missing something and that this might not be a true bug.

I am running Fedora 8 and installed Vega Strike 0.4.3 from the repositories. The following is the relevant output from my terminal.

I've tried downloading and installing Vega Strike myself from the website but the installed program fails to run.

Welcome dantelives not sure what is going on here but it seems that one of the Python modules may be corrupted what was the error that the Installer threw when you tried it did you.it can also be installed in user land the installer needs one of the old compatibility libs to run so does the setup program in that version.

Enjoy the Choice

Thank you for your reply. I might have not been clear in my first post about installing from the website's download. I got it installed in my home directory (so I don't confuse it with the Fedora package). However, it will not run. Here is the output I get when I try to run it from a terminal.

Code: Select all

All I can make out from this is that the program cannot find some libraries but I don't understand which ones.

So, I have Fedora's package which runs but comes up with the "no rooms" error. Then I have my own install in my user directory that does not run at all. If I can figure out SVN or otherwise get the source I might try my own compile and see if that works for me.

Btw, admins, I'm sorry that this thread is probably not in the right forum.

Here is the missing lib libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: that is the compatibility lib i mentioned earlier so installing it should fix things that should also let you run the setup utility by invoking the game this way

Code: Select all

 vegastrike --setup

the svn beta version avoids this as we dropped gtk1.2 dependency and sound now uses alsa not oss so if you feel adventuring it's not that tricky to compile it been doing it my self since Fc3.

Can you explain me please what means Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed and how can I fix it?

PS. I try to start it on Fedora 8
Thank you in advance

Welcome Ras seen something similar but i can't remember the workaround i have use the package in the fedora repository with no problems you don't even need libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: as the setup app was compiled with GTK 2.0 as we now do for the SVN and beta versions so you may get it to run easier or get the source code and new data4.x from svn there have been major improvements and it is not that hard to build.
