View Full Version : Lich failure. Help needed.

Good day.

Lich used to work. About 4 months ago. Then I was out of the game for a bit and I updated my computer to windows 10. Now no joy.

I tried to work through it but think I just made it worse. So here are the symptoms.

When I try to start Lich (shortcut to lich.rbw), I get the following error:
"Lich needs sqlite3 to save settings and date, but is not installed. Would you like to install sqlite3now?"
Of course I'm all about installing so I say yes. And in return I get "Error: Could not find gem.bat in directory C:\Ruby23\bin"
I look...there are two Gem files. gem.cmd and gem without a file extension.
At this point I will mentioned that in my abortive efforts to fix this, I uninstalled and reinstalled ruby. So now I have Ruby 23 and Ruby200. Ruby200\bin doesn't have any gem files.

Next I try to run the SGE from the quick tray. Unfortunately "Windows cannot find SGE.exe" and "While attempting to run C:\program files\simu\sge\sge.exe Shell execute failure with code 2." Things are going well.

And for good measure "Error running launcher. This operation completed successfully." Yes, I successfully completed a launcher error.

All is not lost. I go to the location of the SGE.exe. Try to run.
+It opens and accepts password
+it lists characters and allows name selection
-for both stormfront and the wizard, nothing happens after I select run.

Lich failure, not really. Tom failure, absolutely. Help needed, with certainty.

Thanks!

Tom

Ok...after complete uninstall (as much as I could) and a reinstall things appear to be working.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried uninstalling everything multiple times but it continually gives me a sqlite3 missing gem.bat in the ruby23/bin folder. Any help?

We're having trouble on another thread, too. Not with sqlite3 but with gtk2. Any ideas?

you are installing : Ruby 2.0.0-p648
and making sure you set it to associate with ruby files during the install (not a default option, it must be checked per my memory)

Yes. 2.0.0-p648. I also tried with 2.0.0-p647 and got the same result.

The error mentions an SSL error, are you able to navigate to the HTTPS:\\ url mentioned without error ?

https://rubygems.org

try downloaded the missing parts manually ? maybe someone can chime in with the specific gem versions

I'm working on installing the rubygem cairo, now. I'm not having much luck.

I had to manually download the non-x64, Windows versions of the following gems

gtk2-2.2.5-x86-mingw32.gem
glib2-2.2.5-x86-mingw32.gem
gdk_pixbuf2-2.2.5-x86-mingw32.gem
pango-2.2.5-x86-mingw32.gem
atk-2.2.5-x86-mingw32.gem
pkg-config-1.1.5.gem
cairo-1.14.3-x86-mingw32.gem

Then I ran from the commandline at \Ruby200\gem.bat install --local cairo-1.14.3-x86-mingw32.gem, gtk2-2.2.5-x86-mingw32.gem --no-ri --no-rdoc

Seemed to work for me

Completely wiped all Ruby and corresponding folders - came back, reinstalled, redownloaded all the gems and now we are up and running. No idea what went wrong the first time, but I finally have lich and up running again -

Thanks Nitefallz-
