Learner Report post Posted February 5, 2006 I'm posting a linux test for the executables only, the zip file contains two different executables. Anyone downloading this will need to get the files Ent's Windows test, 'follow' his instructions, then test the two different executables so we can see how useful they are on multiple Linux platforms. BSD user may try the linux test in Linux compatibility mode. http://www.other-life.com/el/el_120_linux_test.zip Note: these are i686 compiled that means other cpu's wont like the binaries.

Learner Report post Posted February 5, 2006 what about building client from cvs for the update? will there be any complications? CVS builds should work if you follow Entropy's instructions, this is a test of a binary distribution for portability checking for those that can't build.

There are several ATI related settings available for you in el.ini or your setup in game that might help your issues. Other then that, I can't help much on Linux+ATI.

Things like that can happen if libraries are incompatible, which is why I made the portable version as well. The version currently named portable is the most likely candidate for the release.

Guest alric Report post Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Both portable and non-portable binary crashes right after connecting to the server with message: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0b630a88 ***Przerwane Probably a glibc issue, though I'm not sure. I'm using an up-to-date Debian unstable, with glibc version 2.3.5. Strange though, I managed to run the game once using el.x86.linux.bin.
