Lua, Mudlet and Arch Linux

Post by Iktomi »

Hello everyone, I've got (what I think is) the latest version of Mudlet downloaded. It says it's a version 3.0.1-rc2

When I load up mudlet I get this message:

[ ERROR ] - Cannot find Lua module rex_pcre.
Some functions may not be available.
Lua error:error loading module 'rex_pcre' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.
1/rex_pcre.so':
/usr/lib/lua/5.1/rex_pcre.so: undefined symbol:
luaL_setfuncs
[ OK ] - Lua module zip loaded.
[ OK ] - Lua module lfs loaded
[ OK ] - Lua module sqlite3 loaded
[ ERROR ] - LuaGlobal.lua compile error - please report!
Error from Lua: cannot open ../src/mudlet-lua/lua/LuaGlobal.lua: No
such file or directory


I'm playing Achaea, and I have the Svo packages installed, but they're not even loading. I can't use the mapper functions such as 'rf' or anything.

Any ideas on how much I might resolve this issue?

Seems somebody missed a step. grab this: https://github.com/vadi2/mudlet-lua and cp the folder over to the install dir.

I'm not sure where the install directory is though...

If you mean /usr/share/mudlet I've tried putting the file there with no change.

There was as PKGBUILD in AUR comments for mudlet-git which uses the latest git sources. Have to note that for me it acted really strange (had missing half of the line when copying to minconsole and such).
Also now that I know which distro are you using, I know why generic instaler won't work for you. Will write about it in that previous thread.

That's the PKGBUILD I used actually. Love that it's a later version, but the older mudlet-git, even though it won't list room names when you do 'rf,' at least loads svo.

I had that problem myself. What you need to do is to install lrexlib-pcre5.1, rather than lrexlib-pcre; which is for 5.2, and mudlet doesn't use 5.2.
