Wow, I'm impressed this place is still active.

I used to run my very large NWN1 World on Redhat 9 (gcc 3.22 Redhat Linux 3.2.25) I decided to take it out of mothballs but can't find a linux distro I can use.

My newish machine (ASUS P5G41T-MLX) Redhat 9 doesn't like it. Locks up on installation.

Current Slackware 12.2
compiles NWNX2 fine
strangeness with nwserver
It runs a blank module (just an area with nothing in it) fine,
the second you add a tree, door etc. it does a Seg Fault

Tried Fedora 2, won't even find the SATA DVD Drive or the SATA Drive, cant even install it on my MB

Tried Fedora Core 7 (gcc 4.1.2 (Redhat 4.1.2-12))
won't run nwserver

I'm at a loss to find a linux distro that will run on my machine and still run nwserver and nwnx2

What gcc does nwserver use? I know its ELF. (file has ELF header)

PLEASE save me from having to run it under Winblows!

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5G41M_LX/ ?? Don't see anything alarming or something that should throw any lin distro of the last 4 years or so for a loop.

Alright, fedora 7 is ancient, might be something that lacks drivers although it shouldn't die on install Smile Slack is 2 versions out, that might be ok. x86, x86-64, something else--that will be important?

Most commonly used to my eyes are buntu/deb. Have read about people using arch and fedora here...

I got it running successfully on Ubuntu 10.04 server edition without too much trouble. Haven't tried upgrading to 12.04 yet, though.

I've gotten good builds on Fedora Core 14. I've had problems with newer versions of gcc that ship with later Fedora releases. I've also had sucessful builds on CentOS 6.2.

Thanks for the replies

I read that these may work sufficiently
Downloading
ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.iso
debian-edu-6.0.7+r1-DVD.iso
Fedora Core 3
hopefully one will compile NWNX2 * AND * run nwserver

I will look into Fedora 14, thanks

Cheers

all new linux release will fail the compile
for now the only, not too old distro, that i tried and compiled nwnx
is debian 6.0.0.7.

nwserver didn't gave me any problem and you don't need to compile it
just follow those guide for downloading and installing it

http://www.neverwinternights.info/dedicatedserver.htm

http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/User:Arek75/Installing_the_Linux_Dedicated_Server/Installing_NWServer

install the server in
/usr/local/share/nwn

so you will be ok with nwnx default installation path too

I have nwserver running on ubuntu 13.04 32bit.
For compiling nwnx, Debian 6 32bit is good, you could have it debootstrapped inside ubuntu, take a look at Elven's instructions.
I had segfault issues solved now by copying all .bif from client /data directory into dedicated server ./data dir, including all aurora*.bif

fixinstall says ready to run
./nwserver
-bash: ./nwserver: cannot execute binary file

Now what?

supposing you have installed nwn in

/usr/local/share/nwn

open terminal

go in
/usr/local/share

sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup nwn
just to be sure do this too
cd nwn
sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup *

do this too in the case
chmod -R ug+w *
chmod ug+x fixinstall

then run fixinstall.sh with
./fixinstall
