Enemy Territory doesn't run.

When I try

/usr/games/bin/et

I get this freaky error message

Code: Select all

/usr/games/bin/et: line 3: /opt/enemy-territory/et.x86: cannot execute binary file
/usr/games/bin/et: line 3: /opt/enemy-territory/et.x86: Success

But... the game doesn't run! I can't find an answer on the forum.

Firefox-bin gets freaky too, but this might be because I have 64-bit installed (or maybe it isn't because of that)

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/firefox-bin: line 342: /opt/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: cannot execute binary file
Unknown error 126 from mozilla-xremote-client
/usr/bin/firefox-bin: line 388: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: cannot execute binary file

Come on! I'm stuck and i've spent awhile on id's site, the forums, and other linux forums.

it installed for me, but I have no sound... I'm investigating.

edit: found solution...

echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

edit: as a possible solution to your problem, have you emerged the x86_32 emulation libraries? I know running an emerge openoffice-bin will automagically install these for you.

Robert: sounds like you don't have IA32 emulation support in your kernel. Under "executable fire formats" in kernel config.

I bet you're right! I'll check it as soon as I get home here.

I have started getting the same error. I have checked I have IA32 emulation support in the kernel which is not surprising as enemy territory worked with this same kernel previously.

Can't think what I changed before my machine was rebooted but I did emerge world and some emul libs were installed or updated (can't remember which). Could this be related?

Thanks
James

If you read this, then something failed during the setup

emerge sync'd this morning and it told me my profile was depreceated so I followed its instructions and updated my symlink.

Then after an emerge -upvD world everything works again

it updated the emul-linux-x86-glibc package which i suspect was the cause as I remember emerging an older version just a few days back.
