Hi,

need help with scummvm. Short description. I have emerged scummvm and wantet to play indi4 or monkey island 2 ... but when i want to start the game i get a segfault ...
Here the long version:

I emerged it and everything was fine ... then i startet scummvm as normal user with the following code:

Code:
scummvm -f -p/home/gnirf/Test/mi2 monkey2


at first it toled me that config file is not found .. i copied the code from the readme file to a config file:

Code:

   [scummvm]
   gfx_mode=supereagle
   fullscreen=true
   savepath=/home/gnirf/Test/mi2
   


OK this was done....

But now i get the following message ...

Code:

   gnirf@gnirfstation gnirf $ scummvm -f -p/home/gnirf/Test/mi2 monkey2
   Detected game 'Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge', version 5.2.2
   Segmentation fault
   gnirf@gnirfstation gnirf $
   


Oh the game is a copy of the CD1 "Lucas Arts Top Ten Adventures ... Disk 1" i simply copied the game from the cd to the dir mentioned.
files in ther are:

Code:

   adlib.ims  monkey2.000  monkey2.001  monkey2.exe  roland.ims  sounblas.ims
   speaker.ims

Hi,

Well all I can tell you is "it works for me".

But a few things that come into my mind you might try:

My config file ($HOME/.scummvmrc):
Code:

[scummvm]
gfx_mode=supereagle
fullscreen=true
versioninfo=0.2.0 Release
SCUMMVM_SAVEPATH=/home/ds/scummvm-savegames/

[monkey1]
path=/games/Linux/Monkey1

[monkey2]
path=/games/Linux/Monkey2/

[tentacle]
path=/games/Linux/dott/

[atlantis]
path=/games/Linux/indy4/Indy4/

[indy3]
path=/games/Linux/Indy3/


Notice, that only IF you have defined an entry in .scummvmrc, you can use "scummvm monkey2" from anywhere without giving it the full path to your monkey2 directory (or dooing a chdir to this dir before invoking "scummvm monkey2").

Do you really have "savepath" not "scummvm_savepath" in your scummvmrc? Mine is a bit older and not from the current version, but you might better check this out.

My monkey directory looks apparently similar, to yours - these are my files:
Code:

ls -laF
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     wheel        8192 2002-10-29 17:24 ./
drwxrwxr-x    8 root     wheel        8192 2002-10-29 19:07 ../
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel       20624 2002-10-29 17:24 adlib.ims*
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel       11135 2002-10-29 17:24 monkey2.000*
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel     9108377 2002-10-29 17:24 monkey2.001*
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel      110811 2002-10-29 17:24 monkey2.exe*
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel       18976 2002-10-29 17:24 roland.ims*
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel       24808 2002-10-29 17:24 sounblas.ims*
-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     wheel       20062 2002-10-29 17:24 speaker.ims*


(Just forget about the permissions and file owners - it's a fat partition... ;-) )

If everything elese fails mybe try strace scummvm monkey2. (as root...)

Good luck - it's worth it. :)
