NWNx2 Leto and other plugins libstdc++.so.5 error

[Rainemaker]

Hello everyone, while I am a veteran of Neverwinter Nights, and a server admin of 4+ years, I have no idea why the plugins can't be run, even when i have the IA32 package installed (which contains the library that the error mentions).
i get the following errors, despite my best efforts, and even in a chroot i can't compile my own binary, so i have to rely on the prebuilt (no problems there).

please help, the error i get (from the plugins only NWNx2 runs fine)
is:

Hey,
what flavor and version of linux do you have and what do you get when you run "locate libstdc++.so" and "locate libmysqlclient.so"? Oh, and which version of nwnx (e.g. core-2.8 from elven's integration build) are you downloading?

[Rainemaker]

Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, (it runs without chrooting and some of the plugs work without chrooting, so i'd rather not chroot)

NWNX 2.8 core from elven

Thats correct Rainemaker, the integration build is linked with those specific shared library versions, so you will need to find a matching one. Unfortunately, the .15 version is getting a little older and I'm not sure where to get one. It looks like you may be getting the correct libstdc++ from your xampp install.

As much of a pain as it can be, I think a chroot may be your best bet. You may also want to try your own build, not sure what problem you ran into there was, but feel free to post any problems with building it here. The cmake files should now correctly target the required i386 architecture. If you do your own build, I would use a gcc 4.4.x version. I have not been able to build a stable version of core-2.8 with later versions.

Yes, this is unfortunately the case. Making a build compatible to all distros is impossible, unless you either distribute the .so (baad idea), or link it statically (not officially supported by mysql). Also, NWNX as of now will not compile on a 64bit stack. There are basically two options:

- build it yourself (you need a 32bit chroot)
- install a debian lenny 32bit chroot and use the prebuilt binary.

There's a tutorial of mine regarding that somewhere stickied.

As for libstdc++5, you might be able to find a matching package in lucid-backports. Just install that and you should be good to go.

Edit: I have looked into integrating leto into nwnx core-2.8, but I can't find the sources for it. Just the glue bits. I don't really feel like checking in and maintaining a blob wrapper though. There are some problems with it and there's more modern solutions nowadays too. I'm not trying to tell people what (not) to use - if there is sustained interest I might try to contact the original author and get the actual code.

The Leto package you sent me in the PM is working as of right now, thank you very very much for that, but im still having issues with the sql plugin, ill tinker with it more a bit later, and if need be ill build it in a Developer VM for 10.04,


unless you have a workaround for the sql plugin?


thanks so much for your help guys,
Rainemaker

EDIT: I've installed a VM of 10.04 Ubuntu in order to build a version of the MySQL plugin, but maybe this is a waste of effort, if you guys can tell me why i might be getting this error

[Rainemaker]

bump, sorry for double posting, but i really would like to know how to build the sql plugin or the sqlite plugin, so that i can play prc with friends.


thanks in advance,
Rainemaker
