Re: [suse-amd64] glibc problem too :-(

I get the following error when trying to install Loki's port of Civilization: Call to Power: "This installation of CivCTP doesn't support glibc-2.1 on x86_64" Is there any way around this? Thanks, Steve
I think that i have this glibc problem too, (SuSE 9.1 AMD64) when i try to install my Lokigames i got an error that i have to install a newer glibc or just that my glibc is incompatible (the messages are slightly different but all games are crashing when i start the installer ... ) They work perfectly with SuSE 8.1 (i don't have 8.2 or 9.0 to test this too but i guess that it would work ) I couldn't ask Lokigames for help - they're no more :-( Is it possible to use the SuSE 8.1 glibc ?
What is the exact error message?
Try LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.21 your-app

Steve, I didn't go about doing this the linux32 way. So if that does not work for you, here's what you can do instead. I've done this with the Quake 3 point release, as well as UT 2003, and a couple others. Run the run file with the "--keep" option I belive it is (use the --help if not). This will extract the setup into a temporary directory from where it was run. Go inside the directory it creates and edit the setup.sh file. The setup.sh shell script has a DetectARCH() function, search for "uname -m" inside and you'll get to it. DetectARCH() { status=1 case `uname -m` in i?86) echo "x86" status=0;; *) echo "`uname -m`" status=0;; esac return $status } Replace with: DetectARCH() { status=1 case `uname -m` in i?86) echo "x86" status=0;; x86_64) echo "x86" status=0;; *) echo "`uname -m`" status=0;; esac return $status } And you're golden. The linux32 command I believe does the same thing without the need to hand edit, but I prefer the long method. :) Good luck, Nick Bargnesi u_nbargnesi@den-4.com Darrell Shively wrote:

I installed the Loki-ported Railroad Tycoon II using the text-based installation script in /setup/... This worked without any problems. But i have some problems using the game. When i start it in fullsreen mode there's a big black border around the game screen and the upper right corner of the game screen appears at the lower left edge of my monitor - i can scroll the game window into the middle of the monitor by moving the mouse - after doing so the graphic is perfect and fills the full monitor - any ideas what happens here ? If i start the game in window mode there are no problems with the graphics ... The greatest problem is the SOUND - it's running two or three times faster than normal :-( This sound is very annoying - so i'm using the game with the sound turned off at the moment... Are there any problems like that with the Civ CTP too or is it working as normal? best regards Franz ___________________________________________________________ Bestellen Sie Y!
