Installed Wolfentstein Enemy Territory but i get an error. Any ideas?

trusktr · 2010-05-26 06:59:40

I'm getting this error:

Failed to execute child process "enemy-territory" (No such file or directory)

Why might it say that after installing the package?

I'd hazard a wild guess that a file or directory is missing, judging from that error message

Debug it. E.g.:

strace -e trace=file enemy-territory-or-whatever-your-executable-is

trusktr · 2010-05-26 07:29:47

lol, that's what i think too. Does that mean the package is broken? (I got it from [arch-games] with pacman)

I installed strace and did that and it said this:

strace: enemy-territory: command not found

Hmmm

You really have the exec in your path? what is the output of 'which enemy-territory'? if its dont find anything make sure the dir of the exec is in yout path

trusktr · 2010-05-26 19:18:12

Well it appears the path doesn't even exist! There is also no "enemy-territory" command after the install either!

The which command gives me this:

[root@rocketship /]# which enemy-territory
which: no enemy-territory in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core)

Perhaps the enemy-territory package from [arch-games] is broken?

xenofungus · 2010-05-26 19:31:52

isn't the executable called etwolf, or something like that?

trusktr · 2010-05-26 19:43:12

The command that the shortcut uses (made by the package installation) is enemy-territory!

xenofungus · 2010-05-26 19:59:16

You are right, I must be thinking about the windows version

just installed from arch-games

% which enemy-territory
/usr/bin/enemy-territory

trusktr · 2010-05-26 20:38:07

hmmm... perhaps my pacman goofed, which never happens!

Lemme re-install and see how it goes...

trusktr · 2010-05-29 10:23:29

I tried re-installing enemy-territory but i'm still getting the same error!

Failed to execute child process "enemy-territory" (No such file or directory)

I wonder why it won't work for me but works for you xenofungus?
