 Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2014 5:06 pm Post subject: [Solved] Gorky17 on AMD64 |
 |
|
I have a commercial copy of Linux Game Publishing's port of Gorky17 and I am trying to get running on AMD64 Gentoo. It installs fine. I have an archived copy of the 1.0.1 patch, and the patch applies fine. It does complain that it can't create an audio channel which I can fix by suppressing audio (command-line option for the game binary "-s") or running it through also-oss "aoss."
However the game exits immediately after launch with no error message, once I jump through the above hoops.
ldd shows that all shared libraries are satisfied for the executable.
| Code: | ~/.gorky17 $ ldd gorky17
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76af000)
libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7669000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 (0xf7533000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXext.so.6 (0xf7521000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf751b000)
libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7370000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76fb000)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libxcb.so.1 (0xf734d000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXau.so.6 (0xf7349000)
libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xf7342000) |
gdb confirms its "exiting normally" and not segment faulting.
Any suggestions?

Hrmm... just figured out the game will run, when run as root. Its got to be a permissions / group issue but im not seeing what it could be.
My suer account is part of the following groups:
wheel audio cdrom video games cdrw usb plugdev portage sudo |

Nevermind I figured it out, I had a kind of bizare file/directory collision that was preventing the binary from creating some of its config files on launch.
I had made the mistake of installing the symlinked binaries to ~/.lgp thus it created a ~/.lgp/gorky17 executable which prevented it from creating files in ~/.lgp/gorky17/* on first run. |
