installing the package gave an error!

[bromsnor]

Hi,

I tried to install the new 2.0.5 version and got an error. ( linux ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft )
In my frustration forgot  to note which error.

But when i am trying it again i get a
"An unkown error has occured ( exit status 14 )"
And the installer stops. How can i get any further ? :'(

You could compile it from source.

Did you try to run the installer from a console?
If yes: Was "An unkown error has occured ( exit status 14 )" the only output?

[bromsnor]

Yes it is the only output.

Tried now on a command line : sudo ./warzone2100-2.0.5.package
That gave: FAIL:Install the package with the command 'package install' instead.
So i tried: sudo package install ./warzone2100-2.0.5.package
Which results in: Protocol version mismatched (expected 6, but got 7).
Please ensure your installation of autopackage is correct.

Tried also to compile but configure says their is no physfs lib.
But the normal version is installed but not dev version.

Well, to compile you need the dev version (additionaly), as that's the one with the headers.

That protocol version mismatch looks like there is some AutoPackage version installed which is somehow incompatible...

Run "package list" both as your normal user and root and "package uninstall" all packages with autopackage in their name. Then try to install the package again. I'd recommend to not install it systemwide, as long as it is not going to be used by other useraccounts also.
