I used Red Hat as my old system (a long time ago) ... switched to Mandrake a
bit back and got back into programming the mud (that I burnt to CD a while
back for storage purposes) ...
When compiling on mandrake, I fixed all the minor coding problems.. (mostly
castings) ... didn't touch the mob_prog's or special functions at all...
While booting the rom it loads all the modules fine.. until it does an
update, then dies.
I traced it to the following...
(gdb) bt
#0 0x006e776f in ?? ()
#1 0x080baa41 in update_handler () at update.c:1091
#2 0x0806ce1d in game_loop_unix (control=6) at comm.c:827
#3 0x0806c906 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff724) at comm.c:438
#4 0x400ae280 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb)
traced the update_handler to the mobile_update() function...
from there, I stepped through the sections until I came across this...
gdb) next
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x006e776f in ?? ()
(gdb) print
$40 = (bool (*)(char_data *)) 0x6e776f
(gdb) list
403 continue;
404
405 /* Examine call for special procedure */
406 if ( ch->spec_fun != 0 )
407 {
408 if ( (*ch->spec_fun) ( ch ) )
409 continue;
410 }
411
412 if (ch->pIndexData->pShop != NULL) /* give him some gold */
Dies on line 408.
Any thoughts ideas?
Thanks for the all the help... I haven't been coding in over 2 years... so...
been a while.. and I'm working on getting my skills back into shape ([EMAIL

... you know.. one of those life things.
