Funky Characters

[darkzadez]

Error First, Apology After:

After installed Showeq, and running it, It comes up fine. I then load my character and get he following errors:

expected 26, received 54
expected 156, received 190
expected 396, received 1079

and then all the text characters shift to an alternate character set. I have been keeping my linux release up to date ( redhat 7.3 ) and had qt-2.3.2 installed. I installed 3.1.1 when the switch was made, but still receive the same errors.

To me and my limited linux experience, I think that my compiles are bad, do to an inproperly installed QT or GCC3 / G++3. Or the possibility of something now conflicting with some new update that occured. My plan is to reload Linux tonight and re-install all the packages.

With that being said, I was only curious if anyone else had run into this, and if any of my assumptions were correct.

Apology:
I do my best not to post here. Between the search function and tenacity I have always been able to make this work, but this time I am at a loss, and could not find anything on the boards close to this. I do assume it was my machine and am goign to re-install, but wanted to get some advice from the pros.

Thanks for your anticiapted time.

Did you get the most recent update, and go through all steps of the rebuild (including 'make install')?

Aye I did.

export QTDIR /usr/bin/qt-3.1.1
export CC=gcc3
export CXX=g++3
make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make
make install


Am at work right now, but will go home and do a fresh install again and report if there is any change.

More important than compiling the new source, did you get _all_ the new source? What jeeves is asking you without being verbose is, did you:

- Download the new libEQ.a and run md5sum to make sure it's the correct version as posted on the front page of the forums?
- Properly update from CVS?
- Compile/install?

It's easy to forget libEQ.a updates.

I would just do a clean extract.. your libEQ.a shouldnt be a problem, since it hasnt changed since October, and the error being generated doesnt seem to be realted to this... it is quite possible that you modified a source file in the interim period, and now CVS isnt updating that file correctly.. just blow away your showeq dir, and rebuild/reinstall...
