balazar3 chrashes on start

Hello,

When I start balazar3 I see these messages appear :

  • Balazar 3 * Balazar 3 lives in /usr/share
  • Balazar 3 * (Psyco not found; if you are using an x86 processor, installing psyco can speed up Balazar 3)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/usr/bin/balazar3”, line 125, in <module>
    from balazar3.game import *
    File “/usr/share/balazar3/game.py”, line 24, in <module>
    exec “import balazar3.driver_%s as driver” % globdef.DRIVER
    File “<string>”, line 1, in <module>

    from soya._soya import *
    ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/soya/_soya.so: undefined symbol: gluTessVertex

Anyone a idea how to solve this ?

Packaging bug. Report the problem to Packman.

hello,

I did file in a bug report on the mailing list of packman.
Hopefully someone can help me with this bug

Meanwhile you can try executing it from the command line using “LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libGLU.so.1 balazar3”.

(change “balazar3” for whatever is used to run it normally, and remove the 64 from lib64 if you run on a 32 bits machine)

Hello RedDwarf,

With the LD_preload balazar3 starts up but when I choose for a player it chrashes with this output :

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libGLU.so.1 balazar3

Comment it to Packman. Perhaps it works with the “fixed” package, but I don’t think so.
This new problem is less obvious, and probably nobody will take the time to fix it since Balazar 3 is in version 0.1 and hasn’t been updated in more than two years.
