Puppy Linux

You'll have to bear with me. I used Lycoris and Ubuntu in the past but never stuck with them. Very new to Linux. I am trying to use Puppy Linux because it doesn't install on the hard drive at all. I wanted to play some GS4 on a laptop which is locked down tight, however I can boot with USB thus wanting Puppy Linux due to only writing files to the usb stick.

I downloaded Ruby, ruby-gnome2 and lich, Puppy handled the ruby packages and installed the packages. However when I type ./lich.rb in Puppy's terminal emulator I get the message,

warning: failed to load GTK bindings: cannot load such file -- gtk2

Also clicking on lich.rb does nothing.

Any helpful input?

You probably have two versions of Ruby; the one that came with Puppy, and the one you installed that has the gtk bindings. Check to see if you have a /usr/local/bin/ruby or something that looks like ruby in /opt. One of those might work.

I've been reading a lot of documentation but I am still not getting this right. Still getting the failed to load GTK bindings and now

wine:cannot find 'false\wizard.exe

Also when I grabbed a different version of ruby-gnome2 I got this error message after running

ruby extconf.rb

Could not create makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.

I couldn't even find the mkmf.log looking in the same directory Gnome2 is.

That message probably means you need gtk2 development files, because you're compiling the gtk bindings from source.

Ubuntu + idiots-r-us/WizardFE + Lich

Very clever Tillmen.

So I finally got things squared away and got Lich to run. Entered my information for game entry, it looked like wine handled WizardFE download just fine, but when I login I get handshaking with game. I get Wizard up for a few moments and see connecting to game, Welcome to Gemstone, Lich active, then disconnected from game. Once the Wizard closes on it's own terminal says

Code:

---

# Segmentation fault

I tried to make the .lich.cfg in the lich directory and in my root directory which is $HOME, and still nothing but dropping connection. I even tried to put it in character folder, because Lich has already made my character's folder along with grabbing, narost, go2, waggle etc...

I'm not sure what you're talking about with .lich.cfg. That's probably not a thing.

Is there anything interesting in the debug files in lich/temp?

I got the .lich.cfg from the FAQ at lichproject.org. It states that lich could be looking for the confit file. I'll check the dump when I get back.

There is no FAQ on lichproject.org. There is one on lichproject.sourceforge.net, which is Shealun's version. Since his version is compiled, the segmentation fault makes a lot more sense. However, his version never uses gtk under any circumstances, so that makes a less sense. I'm not sure what you're doing.

My apologies it was from there http://lichproject.sourceforge.net/faq.php#9

Here's what the debug has
