Plaveshift does not launch

Hello

I am trying to play Planeshift but receives this error when I try to launch it. It seems to me that it is asking for crystalspace 1.2, the one provided by packman is 1.9. Is this correct and is it the reason for Planeshift not to launch?

olav@localhost:/usr/bin> planeshift-client.sh

 If you're a user: Check the working directory the application starts from -
  usually, it is the same as the directory with the executable.
  If in doubt, contact the vendor.
 If you're a developer: Check if the CRYSTAL environment var points to the
  correct location - usually the directory CS was built in.
  You can also use the '--verbose' command line switch to troubleshoot

Any ideas?

Hi there! Assuming you mean Planeshift the MMO. I just tried installing this myself in Suse and did so successfully without install Crystal Space. I have 64 bit Suse with just the 32 bit layer installed. Here is what I did.

First of all un install all Planeshift stuff from your PC.

Downloaded the installer to my home file from here :

32 bit : http://216.6.227.163/update/PlaneShift-v0.5.4-x86.bin

**64 bit **: http://216.6.227.163/update/PlaneShift-v0.5.4-x64.bin

Opened a terminal and enterd :

chmod +x PlaneShift-v0.5.4-x64.bin
./PlaneShift-v0.5.4-x64.bin

I then followed the GUI. I did not install this as root. I installed it to the bin folder inside my home folder. Added the link to desktop and menu.

It didn’t work right off the bat! I also had to add a symlink (Eeeek! Pooks using terminal!) to a 64bit lib. So you have to do the following command :

ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

I got no errors about Crystal Space, it just worked from there. Give it a go, I dont know enough about fixing things to help with problems, can just walkthrough how I did it.

Another guide for my site written though… beams

Hello!

Thanks, I will try that:)

It worked nicely. I am on a 32 bit so I didn’t have to do the link, which made it quite easy. I installed it as root user and added myself in the game group, and the game runs fine.

In my first attempt of installing the game I was using the packman repo which also dragged in dependency packages such as Crystalspace etc. As it isn’t any hick ups now, I suppose that there are some version conflicts between the packman packages.

Thank you!

No problem, glad it worked for you! :slight_smile:
