SQLite 3

[2Sage]

I read some previous posts but most people never replied back with the results of their command prompt.
Before I got to this point I tried 2.0 p648 and 643. I saw another post that said 645 so I uninstalled every version of Ruby and got that one.
Also this command was at first telling me I needed a DevKit so I found a Ruby 2.0 one and got that installed.
Now it got to the building native extensions part but there's another error.
I tried downloading sqlite3.h which came in the amalgamation zip and I got the binary zip but this error message stays the same. I'm not sure why it says I don't have that file. I thought maybe its the wrong place so I moved it around a bit but the error isn't changing.
OS is Windows 7

Anyway that's where I'm at now and this is the result I get when I run the string from the command line

Played around with this some more and found a zip on the SQLite page that has SQLite as an application file. So it seems like I have it. I can launch an SQlite3.exe that brings up a command prompt window that looks like this:
SQLite version 3.29.0 2019-07-10 17:32:000
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database. (Bolded words appear in red)
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.

I'm going to follow those database clues in a little bit and see if I get anywhere but if anyone has any helpful advice I'd appreciate it.

What are you trying to do? just look at the lich.db3 file or something with sqlite? You're not specifying the DB file when you're invoking it. Sqllite, in general, should be extensively documented.

https://sqlite.org/cli.html


# sqlite3 ${LICHDATADIR}/lich.db3
SQLite version 3.22.0 2018-01-22 18:45:57
Enter ".help" for usage hints.

Just trying to install lich. It tells me I don't have SQLite 3.

Try this (and save yourself some grief?)

1) Go to your control panel and apps - remove Ruby 2.0.0
2) Open up your Windows Explorer, click on THIS PC and double click on C DRIVE
3) Delete the Ruby200 folder if it is still present (it should be, but needs to be gone.)
4) Go to this link (http://bit.ly/Win10-Lich-Installer), download the installer and run it. I know, says Windows 10 and you have Windows 7.
5) Use the new shortcut on your desktop to start Lich, log in through the Lich signin process, select your character and Stormfront.
6) Click the PLAY button, and enjoy!

Post any problems here.

Thanks, that got everything installed and working.

For some reason the shortcut it made was all messed up but that's an easy fix and Lich itself works fine.

My shortcut also didnt work after using the Windows 10 installer, however for me (brain dead i guess), it has not been an easy fix.. Where did you go to then launch lich if not using the desktop link?

After looking at the text log maybe I can't seem to find it since lich didn't get installed. Here is the log:

I received some help on Discord and got it all working. I had tried installing Lich myself before but did not put in the correct folder... C:/User/<username>/. All fixed and working now.

When I do this, it doesn't download lich correctly I don't think. It doesn't create any shortcuts, and when I try to open Lich, it brings up a prompt to select which program to open it with. I have deleted everything and started over and I know it's probably user error, but I needs help getting back into Elanthia lol.

[Risen]

What OS?

[Ibidmb]

Windows 10. I click the link, download the files run the setup and it does everything except give me desktop icons and a program to actually run Lich..

[Risen]

Is there a log file on your desktop? That probably has an error in it. Most likely, it will be that it didn't unzip the Lich file.

Go to www.lichproject.org/download and get the latest Lich
Unzip it, and put it on your desktop, for now
Open it up and run lich.rbw - try logging in.
