Linux installer errors and woes
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:06 pm
I just installed the latest on Ubuntu Feisty and got some errors:
loki_setup: 2 Unable to find file 'setup.base.xml' in '/tmp/selfgz28094'
loki_setup: 2 Unable to find file 'setup.music.xml' in '/tmp/selfgz28094'
loki_setup: 2 Unable to find file 'vslogo.xpm' in '/tmp/selfgz28094'
Also the installer does not create icons and never terminates. It's just sitting there doing nothing (no load, no disk activity.) I cannot ^C and if I ^\ then I get a crapload of GTK errors (as do I if I do ANYTHING with the installer interface but just click install.)
I also had to link /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg to /etc/timidity.cfg to avoid another error.
Further, the application does not install all of its dependencies. I had to install the 'libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2' to use configuration (though not to run the game itself.) Why use an installer in this case?
drink@agamemnon:/usr/local/games/privateer$ privateer --setup
/usr/local/games/privateer/bin/setup: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I guess only setup needs this file.
As a followup question, if you already have vega strike 0.4.3 on your system, do you need the redundancy? Or have privateer remake-specific changes been made to the executable as well? I'd love to see the game end up as a .deb package someday so that I don't have to deal with the loki installer. If all you needed was data files this would be pretty easy.
