Problem installing Lich.

[distrakt]

Hi, I am pretty new to linux and lich, but I followed all the instructions that were posted. I installed everything.. and when I run ./lich.rb... the install window pops up but its blank, there is no text or buttons or anything. I tried rebooting and everything.. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

A couple people on Linux have had that problem. I'd suggest compiling ruby-gtk2 from source. It's pretty simple. After uninstall the ruby-gnome2 or ruby-gtk2 you currently have installed, just extract the source, change directory, and type:

ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install

You can get the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ruby...ar.gz/download

You may have to install some devel packages in order to compile, depending on your distro. Just look for dev or devel stuck on the end of ruby and gtk packages in your package manager.

However, the GUI stuff is optional. Assuming you've got the SGE and the Simu launcher installed with WINE, you can type "./lich.rb --install", and log in with the SGE. You just won't be able to use narost (the map viewer). Most scripts with a GUI setup also have a text based setup.

After I installed Lich my comp got a worm when I tried to run it.. Might want to check the program or something.. (I used the link in the website folder, and downloaded the stable version)

Freakin Ubuntu.

I just did the same thing and no dice. Same exact problem.

Order of operations:
install Ruby 1.9.1
install Ruby-gnome2 (this installed Ruby 1.8 for whatever reason)
Run lich - nothing in the window
uninstall 1.9.1
uninstall gnome2
install gnome2
Run lich - nothing in the window

damn gtk bindings.

Any ideas?

Are you installing Ubuntu because your Windows 7 Beta license is running out in 2 days too? LOL

Well I can get it running with
ruby lich.rb --install

I did the updates, but 2 things...
A) Narost doesn't work (obviously, since its the GTK that's the problem in the first place)
B) I'm getting that whole...

>l
Cl what?

thing that I can't remember how to fix.

I think that's what happens when you choose wizard in the SGE. Always choose stormfront, even if you want wizard. If you want wizard you need the fakestormfront.txt thing.

[Tillmen]

You should only have to choose Stormfront in the SGE if you're using PsiNet, because PsiNet will connect to the wrong server if you choose the Wizard. On Linux.. I've never heard of this happening. Check your debug file to see what it's connecting to.
