2.7.1 - linux; "no such file or directory" errors

[Hirato]

If you just want the solution, scroll to the end of the post.

As some of you may know, I've moved to 64bit Arch over a year ago, and I've been compiling both the 64bit and 32bit binaries there.
To my knowledge, everything worked fine, but it has come to my attention that some people (probably everyone) has had trouble running the binaries, with their shells providing the most nonsensical error..

Code: Select all

./sandbox_unix: line 132: ./bin/sandbox_client_32_fps: No such file or directory

I didn't believe them at all until I tried to run the binaries on my netbook with Ubuntu 11.10..

I think we can all agree that this is not the case and that something is seriously wrong.
I can't even run the binaries directly, the system still pretends all 2 million odd bytes don't exist.
This is the ouput of ll bin

Code: Select all

And to add additional insult to injury...

As we can see here, ALL the binaries exist, their permissions are correct and allow execution, so what gives?
I can cat them, I can use LDD to get a list of the libraries, THEY EVEN IDENTIFY CORRECTLY AS BINARIES

I have no idea who's or what is responsible, but it's entirely out of my power - there is nothing I can do about it.
I'm sorry we couldn't provide a better out of the box experience.

Workaround
I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you, but for now you'll have to compile your own binaries, in short, install the sdl, sdl_image and sdl_mixer devel libraries and type make -C src install in your sandbox directory.
You can find more detailed instructions on our wiki

GCC and G++ also needed. Compile works well.

New Menu: Some good, some bad. Better looking, better organized (to a point). Down side is hitting EXIT takes you out with no chance to save. Also, F2 takes you to the textures in the map, but not to the same place that you were, so you continually have to page through to find the last one you were using (or at least the general area of the selection you were using)

[Hirato]

Just a quick update.

This seems to have been an issue with the multilib version of GCC shipped in my distro.
A new version was uploaded recently and tyche has personally helped confirm that it's been fixed.

You will still need to compile your binaries, but this shouldn't be an issue for 2.7.2/2.8.0/3.0.0 (whichever comes next)

How could you do this?
what's your story?
what's the meaning?

And, could you also refrain from spamming topics with the same post content from now on?

Thanks.

Thanks, Tyche.

I think there's a couple of users like that one around...
