Guest shackleton Report post Posted November 20, 2006 i am pretty non-computer literate, and although i did pretty much what was said, it doesnt seem to work..... i got this,,,,,, shackleton@shackleton:~$ chmod +x el.x86.linux.bin chmod: cannot access `el.x86.linux.bin': No such file or directory shackleton@shackleton:~$ could anybody give me a foolproof (literally foolproof) instructions on how to play..... fiddling around i found that el-132.x86.linux.static seemed to work, but closed with no warning when i tried to make a character. not all people who run linux are computer geniuses..... some of us are just cheapskates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Piper Report post Posted November 20, 2006 shackleton@shackleton:~$ chmod +x el.x86.linux.bin chmod: cannot access `el.x86.linux.bin': No such file or directory shackleton@shackleton:~$ That looks like that you are in your $HOME directory and not in the directory where you installed EternalLands. So, go there with "cd directoryname-where-el-is-installed" and try it again. Do a "ls -l el.x86.linux.bin" to find out if youre in the right place. Then try "el.x86.linux.bin" again. if that doesnt work, type "./el.x86.linux.bin", but that depends on your Linux configuration. fiddling around i found that el-132.x86.linux.static seemed to work, but closed with no warning when i tried to make a character. not all people who run linux are computer geniuses..... some of us are just cheapskates Post the content of the error_log.txt here. It is located in $HOME./elc, so type "cd $HOME/.elc" to go there. Piper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted November 21, 2006 Yes, the game is looking for the files in the wrong place. There should be a file, in home/your_account/.elc/el.ini in there, modify the data directory to point where the game is located. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placid Report post Posted November 21, 2006 To clarify, it's the #data_dir configuration; ensure that's pointing to the base (e.g. /home/yourname/eternallands/) of the EL installation directory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
