Can't load savegame in ubuntu gutsy

[patdeitzel]

Read the other post again, index.php?topic=1152.msg10272, and took Per's suggestion of running /sbin/ldconfig and that seemed to get the game running.

Sure thing.  amd64, so I assume you are running a 64bit OS?
If so, all the 2.0.x versions will NOT work correctly.

You must install/compile the svn trunk version instead yourself.

The one that is in ubuntu's repo is very outdated, and I don't know when they will update it.
And if they do update it, I don't know if it is the version (trunk) that support a 64bit OS.

Actually it is more like "you can't compile a working 64bit version of 2.0"... You can run a 32bit binary on a 64bit system in emulation mode, no problem.
But the problem with the Ubuntu package is probably that it contains an old and broken snapshot from our trunk (which is expected to be sometimes broken, which is why I'd consider it unsafe for distros to distribute it). You should use 2.0.9 for now, till we officially release 2.1.

I am a noob to linux as well.
I forget to ask what version of WZ people are running.  I am using the svn trunk version.  That is the version I work on, and which  the patches I did are available for.



To get the trunk version,

Make a directory where you want wz.
cd to that directory
now do:  svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk
After it gets everything, then you do the following commands:
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-debug=yes
make
sudo make install

Note, you might get some errors with either autogen.sh or configure.  Just means you have to download the headers & libs of all the libraries that this project uses.  Things like physfs, quesoGLC, and other ones.


Then once that is done, just follow what I wrote above, and it should be simple enough to do.

This doesn't work for me I can get the url in the browser but not the terminal application to connect - thus no install/download anyway around this?

you can use rapidsvn if you are not convenient with the commandline svn,just search for it in synaptic tools or do a aptitude search in console and install it,it should appear in 'programming tools' menu after an successful installation.

There is also kdesvn and some Tortoise-style integration into Konqueror, afaik in kde-base/kdesdk-kioslaves.
And Gna's svnserve is sometimes just down... I've been told webdav via http:// still works in those cases. (svn+ssh does for sure.)
