I used standard YAST and updated my openSUSE 13.1 to install GNUGO (3.91 version) using QGO and glGO as clients.
While I can start in a terminal GNUGO using --mode GTP --quiet options (no error message), when using the client(s) to play the game, I have diverse problems:
- for QGO I get the error message saying that starting GNUGO encountered an error and things stop at that: the QGO graphical interface comes up but the game can not be played.
- for glGo things are different: the program says it can not find some version of libSDL. Using ldd on the binary I found it does not find many libraries and all seem to be 32 bit versions. Also the program seem to look for them in games/lib where there are none of those it is looking for. The required libSDL exists in 64 bit version, so I am kind of confused.
mayeb someone can help me, thanks friendly yours SH.
For qgo the popup comes and says: “error opening program: could not start /usr/bin/gnugo --mode gtp --quiet” and things stop.
For glGo I get
ioan@Netghost:~> /usr/games/glGo
/usr/games/glGo: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ioan@Netghost:~>
as i said , the library exists but in 64 bit veersion…thanks for the help, friendly SH

Hi
But why running /usr/games/glGo?
Use gdb or strace;
gdb gnugo --mode gtp --quiet
.....
.....
run <press enter>
or
strace gnugo --mode gtp --quiet
Might provide more output…

I think the problem was not clearly described: I try to play GO on my computer. For that I tried two different ways which would lead to the same result I am using 2 different GUI-client programs qgo and glGo.These clients are supposed to start /usr/bin/gnugo server when I want to play GO against the computer. I have to configure, in the GUI interface of the client, the server location and params, which I did! The client(s) and the server are located in the directory where they were installed by openSUSE 13.2.
Let's look at one of them 1st: i start qgo, the program starts well, but I encounter a problem when trying to start a game against the computer and thus have to start the GNUGO server. At that point the error message mentioned in the posts above indicate that "an error ocured when starting gnugo server" as I indicated in the posts above.
If I try to use (for the same purpose) another client (e.g. glGo) the problem is quite different: libraries are missing and the program does not even start.
In 13.1 all these operations were simple, direct and worked without any problem on the same computer (Intel-I7 64 bits) but since 13.2 the same operations do not work.
How do you advise me to use gdb or strace? If I understand well, starting the server with gdb will not help because gnugo server must be started by the GUI-client (qgo or glGo).
thanks for the help, friendly yours SH.
I think I found the problem: qgo client, started under non-root user, can NOT access the /usr/bin/gnugo program though it says " ERROR OPENING PROGRAM; could not start ...." .
Once i start the game under "root" all works fine and no error encountered.
The idea came from looking at the huge trace file. To make it shorter and I asked to watch the path /usr/bin and then I got only 2 lines with "access" verb in the last. Then the opening error strike at me and I tried under root.
Now I wonder how come, because at all file and directory levels the rights are R-X for group and others and for the owner (root) is RWX. Even more, I allowed the write access on the gnugo program but I got the same error.
I am surprised that one needs write access to use this program. have any security rules changed lately in 13.2 ? can you help? friendly yours SH.
Worse, it worked under root and now it does not work any more…I swear it did work and now it does not…:(>:( I am really very upset.;please help!! friendly yours SH.:

Hi
That’s quite possible since it was run as root user…changed something
somewhere…
If you force the re-install of the package, then if duplicate I think
it would be best to raise a bug…

Well, I am not sure I understand what you suggest, but thanks for your time, effort and dedication !!
I deleted and reinstalled the package already !!
Also I tried under root (via SU command or via logging in/out from my KDE session) but it does not work any longer.
The symptom is the same: I starts qgo under root, the window and program starts smoothly, when I want to play with the computer, the small pop-up asking me game params comes up nicely, and once I try to start the game, the program pops-up the same error window with the same message: “error in opening program: can not start /usr/bin/gungo”. The window with the “GO board game” comes up nicely but obviously the game is not working since , according to me, communication with the server could not be started.
The only difference I can vaguely remember is that, at the start-up of qgo (when it worked), the qgo 1st main window was much smaller. I resized it to my liking and since then it always comes up that size. But what can one make of that?
Maybe some new security feature in 13.2 brings the problem since nothing like that was ever present in 13.1. …

How to Play:
Flying ball minions it is a red ball that flies and eat fruits such as bananas, strawberry, apples, oranges, watermelon and other types of food such as sandwiches and sausages.
