API Error

[deepsliver]

Hi,

compiled from source, on amd64 gentoo 2.6.24.
When i start the game, it closes after generating the galaxy with this lines:

deepsliver@box ~ $ less .freeorion/freeorion.log
2008-03-24 19:04:25,716 ERROR Client : Unable to initialise OpenAL device:

any idea which api is involved here?

tnx

I have no idea what the problem is specifically, but that "API error" is coming from Boost.Asio. In general, I would be surprised if either Asio or FO were able to be successfully built and run as 64-bit code.

I don't think that running on a amd64-kernel does make much difference.

Is $HOME/freeorion the directory where you compiled the app, or is it an installation-path.

If the latter, try running the app inside the source-directory.

You could try to run the statically linked version, see here:
http://psitronic.de/div/FO/

normally you would download "latest.tar.gz"

Hello kroddn,
thank you for the static version. It won't run here because of missing a library:

deepsliver@box ~/tmp/freeorion/static/freeorion $ ldd freeorionca
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libpython2.4.so.1.0 => not found
libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7ec3000)
libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7d8e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f08000)
deepsliver@box ~/tmp/freeorion/static/freeorion $ locate libpython2.4.so.1.0
/usr/lib64/libpython2.4.so.1.0
deepsliver@box ~/tmp/freeorion/static/freeorion $ ls -l /usr/lib64/libpython2.4.so.1.0
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1157152 Feb 12 14:09 /usr/lib64/libpython2.4.so.1.0

as you can see, it is there, but can not be found from freeorionca


If i run from source directory, i get this:

deepsliver@box ~/tmp/freeorion/FreeOrion $ ./freeorion
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
HumanClientApp::HandleMessage(HOST_SP_GAME)
HumanClientApp::HandleMessage(GAME_START)

std::runtime_error exception caught in GUI::Run(): boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor

looks like a problem within boost, but which directory is needed here? How can i debug this?

Now THAT (your first error) is definitive a problem related to your 64bit-ubuntu-Version.

Can you try the following with the statically version?

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64; ./freeorion

I didn't want to link python statically, but if you are interested I could link freeorionca with python2.4 statically. Maybe then it will work:

http://psitronic.de/div/FO/freeorionca.gz

Copy that into your install-path and do "gzip -d freeorionca.gz"

[deepsliver]

Hi,

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64; ./freeorion results in:

tmp/freeorion/static/freeorion/freeorionca: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

the second try worked, you have to chmod 775 freeorionca after unpack, with this solution i can play the game while i search for the solution on the self compiled version.

Thank you,
deepsliver

Okay, the I will keep python2.4 linked statically.
