AvP2 linux gameserver problems

OD-Pwcca · 09-15-2007, 04:09 AM

Hello people,

For some time now I'm trying to set up an "Alien vs Predator 2" (AvP2) game server on Linux.
Usually with some research I can overcome most problems. But getting this gameserver to run leaves me puzzled.

About my linux box:
Trustix Secure Linux. Kernel-relase: 2.6.13.4-1tr

Code:

rick@TSL1 /home/avp2$ uname -a
Linux TSL1.rbetting.demon.nl 2.6.13.4-1tr #7 SMP Fri Nov 11 21:27:22 CET 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The AvP2 linux binary can be found here: http://aliensvspredator2.filefront.c...d_Server;33379

When I start the binary it displays the next error:

Code:

./avp2linux: relocation error: ./avp2linux: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

With some googling I found LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 would solve that.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
./avp2linux od.cfg

Code:

./avp2linux: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But libpthread.so.0 is available. It is in /lib/ and it links to 'libpthread-0.10.so'.
libpthread-0.10.so is also in /lib/

Also tried to start it like:
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /lib /home/avp2/avp2linux od.cfg
But it keeps displaying the next error,

Code:

/home/avp2/avp2linux: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

Thank you,
Rick.

When having problems with files in Win32 I often use filemon.
Google showed it can be done in Linux with strace

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
strace -f -e trace=open,close,read,write /home/avp2/avp2linux od.cfg

This won't run because strace won't run with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

Splitted it into two shell scripts:

starttest.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
strace -f -e trace=open,close,read,write ./starttest2.sh

starttest.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
/home/avp2/avp2linux od.cfg

This gave the next output:

Code:

It looks like /lib/libpthread.so.0 is looking for a libpthread.so.0 in /usr/lib/.
Now I need to find out why libpthread.so.0 isn't in /usr/lib/.
