Launching Lich in Ubuntu

[jonas]

So I've managed to follow all the directions for installing lich within Ubuntu. I can launch stormfront and the SGE with wine - but I cant seem to launch the lich program.

This is the error I get (in bold):

I have no idea if its permissions, FXRuby/FOX bindings or dependencies... or im just retarded.

[Tillmen]

That's the wrong version of Lich. Download it from lichproject.org.

[phantasm]

Why are you in the terminal trying to launch it?

[jonas]

Oh wow, I forgot I even installed (or at least attempted to) the older version of lich.

So I deleted the symbolic link for lich (old one im guessing) in usr/bin/local

Re-ran through the steps on lichproject.org


root@WAR-C6:~# cd lich
root@WAR-C6:~/lich# mv lich.rb{w,}
root@WAR-C6:~/lich# chmod u+x lich.rb
root@WAR-C6:~/lich# ./lich.rb

No command 'lich' found, did you mean:

lich: command not found
root@WAR-C6:~/lich# lich.rb
lich.rb: command not found
root@WAR-C6:~/lich# ruby lich.rb
root@WAR-C6:~/lich#


Nothing happens after entering the command

From the debug file

I noticed its missing zlib.. so after some googling I found out how to check what zlib I have installed, from some rails forums...


root@WAR-C6:~/lich# dpkg-query -l | grep zlib

Sorry for all these logs, but I have little idea what to do, though i feel like im gettin closer!

edit: closer to formatting...

[jonas]

Why are you in the terminal trying to launch it?

Well when I double click the icon and select run, nothing happens. I have an idea of whats supposed to happen from running it in windows... but I REALLY want this to work on ubuntu :P

[Tillmen]

Try this:

sudo apt-get install libruby-extras

Or possibly this, depending on what version of ruby you're using:

sudo apt-get install libruby-extras1.8

And if you haven't installed any ruby-gtk stuff yet:

sudo apt-get install ruby-gnome2

[jonas]

the extras file installed some new stuff but still no dice when I tried to launch it

[jonas]

Ok I opened lich.rb and commented out line 252 require('zlib')... and the gui launches now.. hurray! im guessing i just broke something else though ;]

[Tillmen]

zlib will be needed for downloading the map database, and probably a couple other things.

Try one of these:
sudo apt-get install libzip-ruby1.8
sudo apt-get install libzip-ruby1.9.1

[jonas]

Ok, uncommented the line and installed libzip for 1.8 (im using 1.8.7) but same issue - same error in debug log :[

Really appreciate the help btw

[Tillmen]

Well, I'm stumped.

[jonas]

I win!

Why would you not use 1.9.1 in Ubuntu? IIRC 1.9.1's performance is only degraded in Windows.

[Tillmen]

Nonsense! Just open synaptic package manager and uninstall anything that says Ruby. Then reinstall Ruby. That's sure to probably do something.

[jonas]

Why would you not use 1.9.1 in Ubuntu? IIRC 1.9.1's performance is only degraded in Windows.

Well I was using 1.9.2 but just for compatibilities sake I went with the recommended version in lichproject.org. Gives me a reason to learn how to use RVM too

Learning never taught nobody nothin, and books is the worst. Last time I read a book, I was raped. In Egypt.

Lara Logan, is that you? You have my vote for hottest piece of raped-gemstone player ass.
