GemRB error

[Prophet]

I had BG1 working via gemRB a few weeks ago. I accidentally deleted my appdata folder and had to go through and reinstall everything. Now I can't get gemRB to run anything I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I had it working once so I know it's possible...


1) ran gemRB to create the /pandora/appdata/gemrb folder


2) added bg1 folder there (/pandora/appdata/gemrb/bg1)


3) copied the contents of my BG install directory entirely in there (a GOG install if that matters)


4) profit?


When I run I am getting the following error message in my pndrun_gemrb.out file:


sudo /usr/pandora/scripts/pnd_run.sh -m -p /media/BD/pandora/menu//gemrb063.pnd -e start.sh -b gemrb -c 500


not mounted on loop yet, doing so


LoopMountedon:


/dev/loop7


Filetype is Squashfs


Mounting PND (mount -t squashfs) :


/dev/loop7 on /mnt/pnd/gemrb type squashfs (ro)


Filesystem is vfat


Mounting the Union FS using /media/BD/pandora/appdata/gemrb as Write directory:


mount -t aufs -o exec,noplink,dirs=/media/BD/pandora/appdata/gemrb=rw+nolwh:/mnt/pnd/gemrb=rr none /mnt/utmp/gemrb


none on /mnt/utmp/gemrb type aufs (rw,si=6a606577,noplink)


none on /mnt/utmp/gemrb type aufs (rw,si=6a606577,noplink)


[------------------------------]{ App start }[---------------------------------]


./gemrb: error while loading shared libraries:


/mnt/utmp/gemrb/lib/libgemrb_core.so.0: file too short


[-------------------------------]{ App end }[----------------------------------]


cleanup done


The errors are after I select what game to to run and I presume are related to those shared libraries?


I looked in the mounted PND and the files in question are there, though the required length is a mystery...


Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Even confirmation that the steps I took are accurate is valid info. It would help me know that Im looking at a real issue and not just a user error.


As secondary data I also installed BG2 (and moved all the bif files into the data folder) and get the same error. PST, same error. Calling a game not installed - same error.


Either this error is caused by a missing or badly installed game and GemRB cant find any of these games or theres another fundamental flaw in my gemRB installation.


Ive also re-downloaded gemRB from the repo incase I had a bad copy to no avail.

Yes, try redownloading. Looks like a corupted pnd.

Turns out it *does* seem to be a corrupted PND. I downloaded the version at apps.openpandora.org and it worked just fine. Pulled the version from repo.openpandora.org and it dies.


The only issue I have now is that the version at apps.OP.org is version 0.6.3 and the version that works is 0.6.2.


Can someone with a *working* version of the 0.6.3 gemRB download the repo.openpandora.org version and do a checksum check or similar comparison? We may need someone to upload a working replacement. I believe repo is what PNDStore is pulling from which means we may be propagating the bad version...

Make a comment or report on the repo about your problems or nobody will know about this

the one on repo.openpandora.org was packaged and uploaded by blue protoman so maybe he did something wrong ( i have since transferred ownership to jurnD ) and I have sent them Maintainer a message to fix the app, in the meantime I have disabled the download.
