 Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 10:42 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Dark Horizons Lore "cannot open `+266' for rea |
 |
|
I'm trying to install Dark Horizons Lore Invasion (the demo), which I got from here: http://darkhorizons-lore.com/download.php?list.9. The file I get is called "dhli_demo_v2_0_2.sh.bin"
I tried doing:
| Quote: | | sh dhli_demo_v2_0_2.sh.bin |
But then I get this error:
| Quote: | Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No such file or directory
Error in checksums: 3654670264 is different from 852021621 |
According to the website the file should be 46.32 MB, which it is. I also made sure I have the right to execute it, still the same.
So, how do I get it to run? Is there something special I need to do to it?

Try the tail fix:
| Code: | | export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 |

Someone else on the Linux Game Tome has mentioned having troubles with Gentoo & the Lore installer (was quite a while back, so I'm guessing the Linux guy at the time didn't update it).
Another gamer suggested doing this:
| Quote: | Download the installer, open it in your editor.
Delete all calls to the MS_Check function and replace the call with a useless statement like 'echo blah' - This is important because the self installer pulls the gzip content from a specific line onwards within the file - i couldn't be bothered messing with line numbers myself - simple i know.
There is no need to delete the MS_Check function itself.
Now search for +266 (where tail is called) and add the parameter '-n' to the tail command before the +266 so you end up with something like...
tail -n +266 blahblah
Save and run again and it should work fine. |
I'm not a fan of the Loki installer myself (it's getting a bit dated now). I'm looking into replacing it with the Bitrock installer. I'll be the one doing future builds of MGT games (including the next version of Lore) on Linux. I expect to be using the Bitrock installer by that time. I'll see what can be done to have the current version replaced with the new installer if neither of the above doesn't work for you.
Let me know how it works out. |

I tried the the first suggestion first, because it was less work. Lo and behold, it works! Thanks alot!
Luckily there was no need to replace all those MS_Check functions, they were confusing me D:. Thanks anyway though. |
