Darwinia on FreeBSD - seg fault when starting

[n0other]

Hi , I'm a FreeBSD 5.3 user. When I saw that Darwinia's linux binaries are available and that they should run on suse or redhat, I thought I'll have no trouble launching it on FreeBSD, because linux abi is implemented quite well. I installed linux_base-suse-9.2 from ports, added linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_2, linux_dri-4.3.0_2, linux_mesa-3.4.2_3. This way I got quake 3, fallout, wolfenstein and some other games running. When I tried to run Darwinia, this is what I got:

Code: Select all

%ls
README          bin             darwinian.png   lib             setup.data      setup.sh
%cd bin/Linux/x86/
%./darwinia
.
./darwinia: ./lib/darwinia.bin.x86: not found
%cd ../../../lib/
%./darwinia.bin.x86
Could not invoke gdb stack trace because path to executable not set


Darwinia has unexpectedly encountered a fatal error.
A full description of the error can be found in the file
blackbox.txt in the current working directory

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

What could be the problem?

Video: ati radeon 9000, r200 chip, opensource dri drivers

Maybe this will help

I don't have FreeBSD, but you might try removing some of the libraries in the lib directory, if you have your own compat versions of them.

For those who use FreeBSD... it works..!!

I have installed DesktopBSD 1.0 RC3 (www.desktopbsd.net) which is actually FreeBSD 5.4 with some additional tools / modifications to the kernel / KDE installed.

This is what I did (nothing special):

1) Install the nvidia driver and linux_base-8.
2) Download the linux demo (version 2).
3) Extract the darwinia-demo2-1.3.0.sh file using the --target parameter.
4) Run the executable "lib/darwinia.bin.x86"

Thanks for making this game.. I enjoyed the demo and I think I will buy the full version soon!

Cheers,
San
