[bf1942] Ideas?

hey 'Sean' this may help you.

if you get any error from starting the server using this
(./bf1942_lnxded.static +game DesertCombat) its more than likely you
need to run it in static, first you will need to link the static binary

type in this order:
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ ln -sf bf1942_lnxded.static bf1942_lnxded
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ brandelf -t Linux bf1942_lnxded
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ ./bf1942_lnxded +restart 1 +game
DesertCombat & "&" runs the process in the background so the server
stays running even after you log out

you may get this "warning: couldn't get CPU MHz from /proc/cpuinfo" but
edit /etc/fstab with your favorite editor, and make sure you have these
two lines: proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
then reboot your machine(warning if you mis-type anything in /etc/fstab
your machine will not boot properly)

once rebooted, verify procfs is properly working, by doing:
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ df -h

you should see something similar to this:
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a            378M    43M   304M    12%    /
/dev/ad0s1g            1.8G   2.0K   1.6G     0%    /mnt
/dev/ad0s1f            756M    50M   645M     7%    /tmp
/dev/ad2s1e            9.1G   3.1G   5.2G    37%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1e            756M   2.6M   693M     0%    /var
procfs                 4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc
linprocfs              4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%
/usr/compat/linux/proc
pid87 at bigdaddy:/host     0B     0B     0B   100%    /host
pid87 at bigdaddy:/net      0B     0B     0B   100%    /net
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $  

also type this:
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ cat /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo
you will see something like:
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 5
model           : 5
stepping        : 3
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 apic mmx
cpu MHz         : 232.67
bogomips        : 232.67
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ 
(i know my machine is slow, but it has dual 233 cpu's & it's my test
server) 

the "bogomips" is the number that tells bf1942 'how fast' your server
is. If you dont have this, you will report a speed of 0.

this info is courtesy of "BurtReynolds" from
http://bf1942.lightcubed.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=253

it's what helped me to correctly install the game on FreeBSD 4.7 &
above. it would also help if you have installed
'bf1942_lnxded-1.4-ob7up.tar.bz2' first.

Tried the new one like you said and now get this:
 
[sean at iisoft:~/bf1942] ./start.sh +game XPack1 +statusMonitor 1
bf1942_lnxded.dynamic: error in loading shared libraries:
libncurses.so.5: ELF file OS ABI invalid.
bf1942_lnxded.dynamic: exit status 127
./start.sh: using dynamically linked binary
./bf1942_lnxded: error in loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: ELF

You cant use the dynamic version use the static one at a guess u haven't
updated
to ob7 which include a fix in start.sh for the detection of glibc.
