EEE PC: Demo vs Download

[Nickname]

Hi all,

I have an Uplink Version 1.31 from 2006, that I want to install on EEE PC.

When I start I get

./uplink: line 44: __*a number*__ Segmentation fault $here/lib/uplink.bin.x86 "$@"


I installed the patch 1.55, I downloaded and installed an actual Uplink Version 1.54 - I always get the same error.

After searching some forums I added some libs to the system (libglut, libstdc, libgtk, ..and more) - this also did not help. The experiments with screenwidt and screendepth did also not succeed.

At least I had the idea to get the demo, extracted and installed it and
IT WORKED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM

The Standard Xandros system of the EEE is almost unchanged, the repositories I use are adviced from an EEE site.

The fact that the demo is working tells me that hardware and OS are applicable, so

HOW CAN I MAKE THE FULL VERSION START ?

Can someone help me ? Thx in advance.

Which version of the demo?


What does Uplink 1.55 output on the console?

The demo installation file is uplink-demo-1.54,sh.

The error message (1.31 or 1.54, patched or not) is like this:

Launch lib/uplink.bin.x86 directly???

Good idea. This gets me forward.

I made a full install and a demo install. They use different libraries:

Code: Select all

/home/user> ls uplink
uplink/                          uplink-demo/
uplink-complete-1.31.sh          uplink-demo-1.54.sh

Seems I have to play with apt ..

Try to rename the libgcc_s.so.1 file. That usually helps for some reason.

Thank you Culex, that is the point.

The game now uses the system lib.

The problem above starting with ./uplink/uplink depended on the console window. A console opened with the filebrowser at easy mode or the consoles at advanced desktop mode are ok.

Code: Select all

/home/user> ./uplink/uplink
./uplink
./uplink/lib/uplink.bin.x86: ./uplink/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/home/user> mv uplink/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 ./libgcc_s.so.1.rename
/home/user> ./uplink/uplink
./uplink

Try using the latest version, ie not 1.31.
