I used the same update method I have been using for a while now. (the one from the step by step manual on Hackersquest) Is this not the right one?

Is ShowEQ hosted by Hackersquest? I think the forum on their site for ShowEQ has been locked from allowing new posts since February of 2002. Don't go there for help with ShowEQ. I can just picture jeeves shitting a kitten for what I'm about to do.
The answer you seek.
Yeah I went there too and got the same response. I can now get to the login but it times out. I think maybe too much traffic?? I will try again later.

"+ Applied patch from Mvern for temporary fix - will break next patch, however. Use it in good health until then.
Thanks, Mvern."
Yes, thank you Mvern.
Now for my questions.
Does this statement mean that the temporary fix is now part of CVS? From what I can find it does but, I updated in the normal manner that I've used for 2 years and GPS is not working for me. I'm not using a sniffer, just using GPS.
Secondly, am I wrong in assuming that I can get GPS functionality now without a sniffer? If so, this would explain my GPS not working.
I'm reluctant just to try different things and recompile since my Pentium 133 takes forever to recompile (ok, you can stop laughing now).
Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into this;

Yes, the fix is part of CVS. Yes, GPS works without a sniffer.
Did you remember to "make install"?
I'm not complaining -- I'm just happy to have my SEQ back, but I thought I'd mention a crash issue I've been seeing.
I also realize that this patch is PURELY "at your own risk"/etc., but I figured that it might be useful to post this in case it can help the release-version.
I did a complete CVS grab yesterday evening (2/19/03) and a full build.
Everything worked pretty much as expected (thank you!) but I did experience 2 crashes, both of which said something to the effect of "could not inflate - wrong compression". There were also warnings about packet sizes. I'm sorry that I don't have the exact messages, as I was not logging the STDOUT/STDERR at the time (I am now and I'll return when I get a real capture).
Other than that, the only other aberation was the map getting resized "super huge" -- I had to change my zoom from 3X to 7X to get the same view. Probably an errant set of coords that made SEQ think something was waaaay out there on the map.
So, once again, thanks so much to the developers and everyone working on getting SEQ running again!
Thank you Dedpoet. Nowat least I know I'm not pouring water down a dry hole.
For sometime I've been using the Monkey679 guide which has been quite helpful.
To update I type in the following lines:
cd /root/showeq
make distclean
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login
cvs -z3 update
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq logout
export CC=gcc-3.0.1 ; export CXX=g++-3.0.1 ; export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2
make -f Makefile.dist && ./configure && make && make install
Unless someone points out an error with this I think I'll just repatch CVS when I get home and try again. Only takes it about 2-3 hours when I type that last line....

Other than your qt version doesn't look to be a supported version, it seems like what I type in.
Ok, i'm going to take a shot in the dark here as to what happened.Originally posted by Noobian

A few guesses looking into my chrystal ball
1) This is the first time in about 3 months that you've actually done a complie/update.
2) You're using QT-2.3.2
First, You got the files down. You exported your QTDIR to qt-2.3.2 and you ran make -f Makefile.dist
That executed and told you to run ./configure && make
You in fact ran ./configure && make && make install (to get it installed, b/c you knew you'd have to anyway).
And since your box takes sooooooo long to compile, you went off to wash your clothes, get a cup of coffee, watch some TV, etc. When you came back you saw the garbage spamming the screen had stopped, didn't see an error, so opened a terminal and tried SEQ...and wonderfully enough, it pulled SEQ up. However, GPS didn't seem to work so you posted here.
What you missed was when you ran ./configure you missed the message that said basically "QT-2.3.2 is not supported"...(something about a fatal error and all that). But because i'm betting you also forgot to run make distclean that the compile happened anyway (or maybe it would reguardless, don't know) but it never installed a different version.
ANyway, that's my shot in the dark. YOu're going to have to upgrade your QT version to get it to work.
3.0.5 is what I use, and it's pretty simple to do I think.

That's true, you do get this message, however QT-2.3.2 still works at this time. At least it still works for me, without me having to do anything out of the ordinary. Not to say that upgrading isn't a good idea, but I doubt that's the cause of his problem here.What you missed was when you ran ./configure you missed the message that said basically "QT-2.3.2 is not supported"...(

I also compiled with qt-2.3.2 this time round with no problems.
HuH? My ./configure stops executing with an error if if finds my 2.3.2 as my only QT (it won't see 3.0.5 by default, it sees 2.3.2 by default).
The message I get at ./cofigure (I'm sorry, i'm not at my linux machine so I don't have the exact message) leads me to believe that 2.3.2 is no longer supported since configure just plain stops at that point. It's interesting to know that 2.3.2 is still supported...strange.
If anyone feels it's a good idea, i'll drop my specs in here for everyone to take a look at.

Holly crap I thought it took a long time on my POS computer. I also don't do a clean every time so that must be what cuts down the compile time to ~1 hour for me.Only takes it about 2-3 hours when I type that last line
This is on my smokin P1 with like 900meg HD and I think 48meg ram.
Thank you to all the devs. Keep up the good work!

Raistlin... They announced a few patches back that they were making the switch to QT 3. I'd suggest just doing a clean install of RH8 with the required packages(or just a complete install if you have the HDD space)
Its probably more of a hassle to deal with two version of QT on one machine anyways. As I said, install a fresch copy of RH8 and go from there. Things work very smoothly.
Usually I post my character here...but uh...yeah...
<--- Retard
RTFM... yes I know... Just going to all of you, install RH8 anyways, its better
