Errors when starting Mudlet

Post by Sivan »

I am getting the below errors and noticed that it asks to report it. Below is the errors I am seeing. If someone can help me with reducing all or some of the errors that would be appreciated. Mudlet is installed on Linux Mint Debian Edition with update 7.

Thanks

You need to install a package called something like "lua zip" - Mudlet requries it to work.

Thanks. I've gotten all but one error resolved. Do you know how to get the below one fixed?

You aren't running Mudlet properly, or Mudlet is not setup properly and it cannot find the starting LuaGlobal.lua file.

The file is there. When I start mudlet from the 'mudlet-2.1/bin/' from the command line it does not come up with the error. When I use the menu entry pointing to the same directory and file 'mudlet-2.1/bin/mudlet' I get the error.

What's the right way to start mudlet? I downloaded and installed the new Linux package. It installed successfully so I am not sure how it could not be set up right.

If you're using the generic linux installer, then you need to either use 'Mudlet' file with its icon, or the run-mudlet.sh file. You do not need to go inside bin/ and run anything there.

Thanks for the reply. I don't see a Mudlet file with an icon and run-mudlet.sh is in the /bin directory so I do not see how to run that without being in the /bin directory. When I try and run it from there I get a GLIBC error.

I'm mainly asking these questions as I thought this should run without the error messages at startup. It does not appear to hurt anything though. But I did want to resolve the errors.

Have you tried removing the copy of libc it has inside the mudlet directory?

I'm not certain about the libc part. If deleting it like morgoth suggested doesn't work, I'd be out of ideas - you might be running on an older libc version than Mudlet was compiled on.
