Hey folks!

I run Fedora 16, and I wasn't able to get the binary to work. However, I was able to compile it easily and it works just fine now.

Do you want me to supply a compiled F16-x64 binary? I'd be willing to do so if it would help.

Thanks for testing, I'm not sure why the binary didn't work.
There's a 64bit binary for Fedora 16 in the archive, which is compiled on a F16 system.

Do you perhaps know what the problem was? Did you miss a dependency?

A binary would be great, just to be sure, you compiled it against libraries from the official Fedora repositories?
And does the run_game.sh script work when you replace the fedora binary with yours.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Which archive? I just downloaded it from the link on the front page of the sourceforge site. Here's the error I got when I ran it:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

[bart@beast meandmyshadow-0.3-bin]$ ./run_game.sh
Warning, unsupported distro.
./bin/meandmyshadow-default-64: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also, yes, I compiled it (as far as I know) with the official Fedora libraries. I've got some unofficial repos installed (the usual suspects, mostly), but I don't think they override any of the dependencies.

That's the archive I meant.

I see what the problem is, for some reason it can't recognise that your running a fedora system.
Does the file /etc/fedora_version exist on your system?

Nope.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

[bart@beast build]$ cat /etc/fedora_version
cat: /etc/fedora_version: No such file or directory

Hello Lendrick,

Lendrick {l Wrote}:Nope.

Than I think the file is called /etc/fedora-release.
The source I got the distro specific files from was a bit outdated but I thought they would still work.

Can you confirm that the file /etc/fedora-release exist on your system?

There we go, that was it.

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

[bart@beast devart]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 16 (Verne)

Thank you very much for helping to solve this.

I've uploaded a new archive.

Works perfectly, thanks!
