linux radiant migration problem

Post by **a13n** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 2:07 am

Hi.
This weekend I decided to migrate to slackware 10.2 from redhat 7.3.
The method is simple tar/untar without installer.
Everything, such as q3, ut and radiant 1.4.0, went well except linux radiant 1.2.12.
While loading 1.2.12, it claims that

Failed to initialize the following interface: filesystem module minor: quake3 errno:No such file or directory
An unrecoverable error has occured.

Also q3map2 shipping with it also failed to run due to libpng problem.
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Should I copy/paste old library from red hat 7.3 to radiant directory?
It would be really appreciated if you give me a link to raidant 1.2.12 source in one archive.
Thanks in advance.

The same error reported to qeradiant, but the answer is unclean.

Just found a source archive here, but the version was 1.5.0, I'm searching for a 1.2.11 or above & below 1.3.x.

O.K.
I brought old zlib,namely libz.so.1.1.4, from my redhad 7.3.
Then typed
$export LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/oldlib/libz.so.1.1.4
$/usr/local/game/Radiant/q3map2

O.K.
Now q3map v2.3.38 runs fine.
I'll do the same trial and error for radiant and report back the result.

O.K.
Linux Radiant 1.2.12 turned out to run quite fine by using old libz.so.

If someone knows whether compiling old zlib on the new system will make q3map2 run faster or not, please teach me.
Thank you.

Yes, esp. with optimizations for your specific architecture turned on. The difference in most cases won't be dramatic, though.

I might re-compile old zlib but not libpng because it seems to do nothing for q3.

O.K.
This might sound out of topic but I happened to try it and it worked as well.
O.K.
Here is another story.
On my old redhat 7.3 q3map2 had never ran due to lack of glibc 2.3 series.
Now the migration went well, it was possible to mess around with it.
So I simply moved original /lib/i686 diretory to /lib/i686-default then copied /lib/i686 directory from my redhat 8 on another pc which contains glibc 2.3 contents and just typed
#ldconfig
O.K.
Q3map2 2.5.14 now runs quite fine on redhat 7.3.
