Problem starting client on mac

[civtobi]

The server seemed to start fine, but when i opened a new window and typed civclient I received an error message

/bin/sh: esd: command not found
1: Plugin found but can't be initialized.
1: Plugin 'sdl' isn't available. Available are [none, esd]

Maybe I have a bad install?

Thoughts?

It appears you're using the version of freeciv that ships with fink. I suspect you may have had the file go bad, because I just tried running an install, and didn't have any issues. However, I also have most of the GTK core librarys installed also. What dependancies were you asked to satisfy, and how did you satisfy them?

You may want to try downloading the latest stable from freeciv.org, and copying the contents of the data directory from the expanded tarball into the /sw/share/freeciv directory.

To do so, open up a terminal window, cd into the data directory, then type 'sudo cp * /sw/share/freeciv', and enter your password when prompted.

civtobi,

i had the same problem, and have managed to track down the better part of a solution.

here's a link to a discussion on one of fink's mailing lists:

http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10218.html

in that posting, Matt wrote,
"Freeciv is missing a dependency on imlib, either run 'fink install imlib', or 'sudo apt-get install imlib' which ever you use."

i've been installing binaries, so i used the latter command, and the civclient came to life (after a successful install of imlib).

next i guess we need to figure out the problem with the enlightenment sound driver . . . let me know if you come up with anything.

best,
karl

Finally it works...

Thank you for your help.

First I installed freeciv over binaries. I had to install imlib and esound over fink afterwards and that solved the problems.

Installing freeciv over fink from source, installs everything needed (imlib, esound ...).

But finally both ways are possible and work. Freeciv is great.

Thanks
