10.04 was the easiest by far to get up and running - it requires almost no adjustment.

Two questions:

a) are you using the x86 or amd64 version (ie, 32 or 64 bit)? For simplicity make sure you're using 32bit.
b) did you follow BuildForLinux instructions exactly? I've done it numerous times now without a hitch.

used x86 version.

That shard didn't run at first try, was not the drop, it was the fact the libwww-dev was not available for 10.04.
I have no idea if it is nessecary for the client to make, I didn't try. (lazy)

Yes, I follwed the HowTo, at least I think so. :)
And http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/ConfigureForLinux

Try this:

"sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" and select "NO" when the option comes up and let me know.

hmmm, the shard starts with path not found.
/home/nevrax/code/ryzom/server
the correct path is:
/home/nevrax/ryzom/code/server

after that it throws parsing errors in admin_service.cfg

You can fake this out easily enough, just symlink it:

From /home/nevrax do a "ln -s ryzom/code code"

It doesn't fix the proble, just makes it not a problem for now.

that did the trick on the path.
But it still thows parsing errors.

another problem:
i loose the paths everytime I reboot. (not linux shark) yet.

Getting this install to run; sure it isn't to much trouble?
I appearantly made some mistake somewhere.
No problem in starting over!

Just re-export the path (from the wiki instructions) -- when you log out and back in again it's going to lose the RYZOM_PATH variable unless you add it to your .bashrc for example.

Ok, I'll try that....... again. :)

I read somewhere that changing .bashrc didn't help, that's why I haven't given it though afterwards.

Thanks for you time.

ups

Ohhh, btw.

Won't the missing libwww-dev for 10.04 be a problem when making the client??

Yes, but you can find packages that work with Lucid. These are the ones I'm using for Lucid with the CMake build of the client:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/libwww-dev
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/libwww0

You'll need to install libwww0 first since libwww-dev relies on it.

For building the client I suggest using CMake on Linux however I'm still a very long ways away from the server building correctly via CMake.

Thanks,

Yeah, I found those too.

But "apt-get install libwww-dev" gives you nothing.

Use one of the links on the link you provided:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/w3c-libwww/5.4.0-11build2
Says "DELETED"
And further:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/w3c-libwww
Says it is not (yet) published.

I see in the Cmake howto it's called "w3c-www"

Maybe that's the problem/typo.

Are you getting the same parse as me?

It looks very similar.

After complete reinstall the symlink workaround is still needed.
Line in file shard is also wrong.

On page:
http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/ConfigureForLinux

shouldnt there be a:
chmod o+w code/ryzom/server/save_shard/rrd_graphs/
also?

I got some write-errors in the server console.
Went away when I chmod rrd_graphs.

But otherwise install/build OK.
