I can't seem to make this server run,
I keep getting a segmentation fault.

I am loged in at my root account while doing this.
Any IDeas that I could do?

Why are you running a game as a root?

I'm logged in as root so that I could install my software and scripts without haveing to type a password repeatedly.
once the game works I'm gona change the setup so that I can play it in a normal user account.

ok. Does it work as a normal user?

Other ideas:
-Is your loopback interface set up correctly? (that is, does ping localhost and ping 127.0.0.1 work)
-Try running program with strace and/or ltrace to see what happens before segfaults (also strace -e trace=file might be useful).
-Using fenris might also retrieve something out from the problem.
-Recompile the program with debugging information (-g) and run it under gdb to see where in the source crashes.

This is what I get for the loop back I'd say it works...

when I try to do trace, nothing appears to be happening...
the Os is suse 9.1 pro

See that strace is installed and run
"strace ./sof2ded +exec server.cfg"

I ran the report and posted it on my web account
*...lol its an old account...x.x;*
http://www.angelfire.com/dbz/dragonb...ta/Report.html

it says that it ended in a sigsegv

Well, that just crashes after reading some shared objects. There seems to be nothing wrong with the kernel interaction. ltrace might reveal something; it traces through the interaction with dynamic library calls.

I would compile the sources with -g to see what is actually wrong when system crashes. The datestamp older than two years indicates that there might be some library problem what could get fixed by just recompiling against newer libraries. With objdump -x you see what dependencies that binary has.

BTW. if this program you are wondering is this
http://www.3dgamers.com/games/soldierfortune2/#filelist
, there is newer 1.02a version available (1.02 fully, with patch to 1.02a), try using it.

this is what i get when I try the new version of server.. I've tryed copyin the game over from my windows.. still wants to be stubborn about it though..

Are the files in correct case? (linux filesystems are case-sensitive).
"strace -e trace=file /usr/local/games/sof2/sof2ded" and you see what files it tries to access.
