in debian etch, nexuiz doesn't start because it says it can't find GLIBC_2.4,

but etch only has up to 2.3.6


wtf?

Etch is a "stable" distro. Just compile from source. There will be a hotfix (that is, Nexuiz compiled on an older distro).

DivVerent made the hotfix available.. see here: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=2824

Tried the hotfix on Debian Etch, but the result is: floating point exception.

nexuiz-linux-686-glx Floating point exception
nexuiz-linux-x86_64-glx: cannot execute binary file

Heya...

I have the same problem with 2.4 on Debian Etch

b036:/usr/local/games/Nexuiz# ./server.sh
./nexuiz-linux-686-dedicated: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./nexuiz-linux-686-dedicated)

after the hotfix i get:

b036:/usr/local/games/Nexuiz# ./server.sh
Gleitkomma-Ausnahme (i think it means the same like floating point exception. )

i even tryed to compile the nexuiz source by myself but i get errors after typing make nexuiz . here the last lines :

So what do we do? I wonder how Etch servers will run the latest version...

You are missing some X header files (no idea which, since you pasted the wrong lines (always post the first error when make aborts, the last lines are rather useless)).

Either make shure you have all necessary dev packages installed ("apt-get build-dep nexuiz" should do the trick) or, if you only want to compile the server binary run "make sv-nexuiz".

OK installed gazillions of libs and finally compiled it. (didn't really want to dig that deep, i have a bad experience dealing with old libs...)
so it works now here are the binary files : PLEASE DON't DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU REALLY NEED THESE FILES!
mnet.bg/~metalqga/nexuiz24.zip
nexuiz-glx; nexuiz-sdl; nexuiz-dedicated

I have ubuntu 6.06 ( and the same problem )

The fix doesn't work for me, when I run the available binaries i get :
( glx/and sdl )
Floating point exception

When I try to compile I get trouble with the old SDL in ubuntu 6.06, but the glx version works for me ( created before the sdl version ).



Here is the error I get for the sdl-version

Code: Select all

...
vid_sdl.c: In Funktion »VID_InitMode«:
vid_sdl.c:705: Fehler: »SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL« nicht deklariert (erste Benutzung in dieser Funktion)
vid_sdl.c:705: Fehler: (Jeder nicht deklarierte Bezeichner wird nur einmal aufgeführt
vid_sdl.c:705: Fehler: für jede Funktion in der er auftritt.)
...


install 'libsdl-dev' that will install all the needed sdl files so you are able to compile

ok i got it to run now...
after a make clean i recompliled just the server and startet it...
but it says still some errors in the console

but it seems to run stable so far...

thanks for youre support

Those errors are not a problem. The server does not need textures and double definded shaders probably are from custom maps but both is harmless for the server.

Please, compile the latest hotfix for Debian Etch.

In advance thanks

The hotfix or 2.4.1 (when its stable enough) will be compiled on a etch system by the devs if all goes well..
