rolauncher >>> invalid pointer

[prodigy-sidux]

I heard only good stuff about this game and wanted to give it a go.
I downloaded the launcher, run it and got this error.
Can someone tell me what is wrong ?

You have 32 or 64 bits distro? and which client do u download?

[prodigy-sidux]

Debian Sid (sidux)
32bit

[prodigy-sidux]

i took the game client from the sticky post "(Un)Official Linux. ... "

[magnet]

Have you tried:

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./rolauncher

to launch the game? This is because of a change in the GNU libc Sid & Gutsy have.

(PS: playing Regnum using Sid will certainly be often problematic)

[prodigy-sidux]

Thank you !!
That helped !!
:metal:
C U in game :D

[Inkpot]

I have the exact same problem with Ubuntu Gutsy 32 bit...but I don't understand your solution. I'm a newbie....please be gentle. :P

First are u using kde or gnome?

I suppose gnome.

alt+f2 (or search the program named xterm) and type this:

cd route_to_ro_launcher_folder

route_to_ro_launcher_folder means: /home/your_user_name/Regnum/

if u named the folder Regnum and it is in the home folder.

Then type:

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./rolauncher

Ofcourse the program named rolauncher must be in the directory

[Myxir]

What exactly is the effect of malloc_check?
I heard that it should prevent checking some libs......

Thanks so much! This did the trick!! Now if I could just get it to download the resources faster than 30kb/sec..... :)

*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer

this error messages are ignored with the export of malloc check = 0

i found the fix on a forum of neverwinter night

" The newer glibc ebuilds added sanity checks that cause the above 'error'... For example, any application that calls free() two times on the same pointer will automatically crash with these versions of glibc. True that a "double free" is bad practice, but up to now, no implementation of glibc would crash when this happens, the 2nd free would simply do nothing, so a lot of programs are 'crashing' with these new versions of glibc.
This check and its behavior can be modified through an environment variable "MALLOC_CHECK_"... edit the nwn script and add the following before calling nwmain:
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0"

Its value should be one of

* 0 to ignore corruptions
* 1 to print to stderr(3)
* 2 to abort immediately

[EmyrB]

I followed you guide here and got the game working by issuing the command : -
MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./rolauncher

How do I create an entry to it so I can lauch the game from my gnome menu. I am using 32bit Gutsy?

Cheers

1) Create a script containing (where PATH_TO_REGNUM is the path to your game):


#!/bin/bash
export PATH_TO_REGNUM="/somewhere/regnum/is/"

cd $PATH_TO_REGNUM
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
./rolauncher


And call it "play_regnum.sh" (for instance).

2) Put the script in a location you will remember (and that you won't delete, Regnum folder is an idea, or your local bin directory) and cast the execute spell:

chmod u+x play_regnum.sh

3) Follow this tutorial http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-entries-in-gnome-menu.html

and use the script as your command. Find a pretty icon and you're all set.

As usual, understanding what you are doing helps. A lot :)

Good luck

I heard that it should prevent checking some libs......

MALLOC_CHECK_ is a debugging environment variable that allows programmers to define how memory allocation behaves, especially in case of error (gcc has a -lmcheck flag that does the same job).

By default, its value is 1, memory structure is dumped in stderr then abort.

Hey Magnet

Many thanks for the helpful pointer :guitar:

[NightTwix]

Hello Surak or which admin read this

please make this thread sticky until the glibc problem is fixed!

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./rolauncher
this helps in almost all cases, but this thread keeps getting buried

STICKY plzzzzzz
