 |
|
I've got SMAC installed from portage, the most recent version (6.0a as of now I think) and it runs fine. But when I click Multiplayer and then Internet game, it instantly crashes with the following:
| Code: | smac: dynamic-link.h:57: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed.
BUG! Exception triggered, cleaning up.
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 6.0a
Built with glibc-2.1 on x86
Please send the text of the failed assertion,
along with the contents of autosave to: support@lokigames.com
Unable to execute loki_qagent - exiting
|
I tried the forums, and google. The topics here mention some methods for getting the game running, but they don't apply to portage it would seem, since portage install the Loki_Compatibility libs.. I'd guess my problem is the game isn't properly using them. I don't know. My friend got it working though... |

| Strange. Now, that you mention it, I'm getting the same error on my new amd64 (game is running in a 32bit chroot). Works fine on my old laptop, though. |

Quick fix: Change /usr/games/bin/smac to read
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
cd "/opt/smac"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:"
exec ./smac "$@" |
Similar for /usr/games/bin/smacx. |

Awesome! Thanks a ton.
I tried searching bugzilla, but my search skills are horrible. I got no results searching for "smac" or "alpha centauri".
Anyway, now I can play with a friend, whoo! |

That's because I posted the bug _after_ reading your post  |

I'll look at this tonight. The main thing that is puzzling to me is how it worked before the eutils.eclass change was made. Anyway, some thorough investigation will reveal all!

The old version would set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:
which seems to be an alias for
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
Strange... |
