URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40715
System:
Slackware 12.1.0
Linux bendenweir 2.6.26.2 #2 SMP Sun Feb 8 21:11:24 MST 2009 i686 Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Symptom:
using make install to install freeciv, running civclient and
clicking on Start Scenario Game crashes with the following message:
0: Did not find token value in
/usr/local/share/freeciv/scenario/british-isles-85x80-v2.80.sav.gz line 1
Cause:
The .gz files in share/freeciv/scenario after a make install are
corrupt somehow. This prevents an installation created with the
make install command from running because share/freeciv/scenario
only contains the .gz files and no uncompressed .sav files.
Running ./civ from the build tree works because, in the data/scenario
directory, the .sav files are copied first followed by the .gz files.
This makes the .sav files appear first in directory order (ls -U). The
program reads the files in data/scenario in directory order and builds
a list of files. It then searches, not sorts, that list for the first
file alphabetically, which happens to be british-isles-85x80-v2.80.sav
which works, instead of british-isles-85x80-v2.80.sav.gz which is
corrupt. I assume this from looking at the strace output.
Solution:
rm -f /usr/local/share/freeciv/scenario/*.gz
cp freeciv-2.1.8/data/scenario/*.sav /usr/local/share/freeciv/scenario
