Why doesn't this work?

Post by khandy »

tmw 0.18...

I have one machine that TMW currently works on. It is a Linux FC3 system at my office.

My laptop (debian stable) starts tmw, loads updates ok (displays the update message), asks for password, then locks up solid on the password screen.

My other machine (debian testing) doesn't get very far at all running it, both compiling it myself and using the debian apt-get version.

Code: Select all

$ tmw
The Mana World v0.0.17
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x080fa990 ***
Aborted
gdb gives the following in case any developers are listening

Code: Select all

gdb ./tmw

My other machine is a RedHat 9, and doesn't even come close to having the right libraries.

Any clues, ideas, etc. I could try?

Further information:

I installed the windows 98 version (after a lot of pain and suffering) and it too locks up after asking for the username/password.

Locking up after choosing the username/password is a known issue of version 0.0.17. Are you sure you're using 0.0.18?

Downloaded it just before installing. Said it was 0.0.18.

Could this be caused by my ISP closing a port? Shouldn't there be an error in this case?

My laptop gets farther at the office: runs ok under XP, dies after connecting under linux (SDL_Parachute error)

Was it both a clean install? (not installed over an earlier version)
Just thinking of possible causes.

Tried it both ways. Same result. Also tried "--with-opengl". No difference.
