This means that you do not have a couple of lua "packages" installed in your system, the one that handles "zip" files and (possibly) the one that provided "Lua Filehandling Systems" a.k.a. LFS. The "no file 'something'" lines are the paths and names of the things that Mudlet thinks the items could be called (and where it will be) for ALL operating systems (so some can't possibly be right for YOUR case, whatever YOU are using) - it just uses the same for everyone.

For a linux system you probably need to install something like "lua-zip" and "lua-filesystem" packages - if you are on some other weird OS - please tell us and we can give you more specific advice.

Thank you very much!

I use Linux Mint, after i installed lua-zip and lua-filesystem the error messenges are gone! Yippie!

But if i push the Manual Button there ist still on Error-Message:

Error when getting information for file '/usr/games/Mudlet_API_Reference_HTML.html': No such file or directory.


Could you explain me how i can fix this?

Er, some 2.x versions have the help button wired up to open a locally stored HTML page on your system's web browser - unfortunately the name was a bit mangled so it was changed to open "http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Contents" instead - that would be the best place to go. Alternatively you can find the original file here which you could download and place in your /usr/games directory so that the button does what it was supposed to...
