Troubleshooting
I can't compile U61, help!
Problem
U61 configuration scripts are not perfect, and compilation
might fail for various reasons since U61 depends on a
fair amount off libraries, some of them not being - yet -
available on every GNU/Linux distribution (ClanLib, Hermes, Lua...).
Solution
- Read the INSTALL file in the root directory.
- Check that all the libs needed by U61 are correctly installed.
For instance, Lua is quite tricky to install since you have
to run ld manually to create .so files.
- Try and install a binary release. The GNU/Linux static binary
does not require any extra library to run, so it might
save you lots of time.
- If you're still in trouble, you can still ask for help
on the mailing-list.
When I run U61, I get protection faults 8-(
Problem
This often happens when data and/or configuration files are
not installed correctly. It may also happen if you have
installed a new release of U61 over an older one.
Solution
Under GNU/Linux, remove the following files/directories:
- "/usr/local/share/u61" (or "/usr/share/u61"). This is the directory
where all the themes and scripts are stored.
- "~/.u61rc". This is a useless file used by previous
releases of U61.
- "~/.u61". This is the directory where the configuration file
is stored. It can also contain custom themes and scripts.
- "/etc/clanlib.conf".
This is ClanLib's configuration file, used mainly to choose
which display target should be used.
Once you have removed these, reinstall the game and
and try and launch it again.
