Its been awhile since i have setup a code base. I want to run a circlemud cose base. I have shell and everything all set up, but forget how to properly set it up. The runnin.doc does not help much, becuase i have a modified version of circlemud, not the original. If someone could help me that would be awsome.

The positions or staff forum is where one advertises for staff.

What's your setup question?

alrighty this is how it works...


inflate the circlemud....


tar xfv circle30bpl12.tar

when all inflates type: cd circle30bpl12

now your in circle's top directory

type ./configure & <---- remeber the '&' sign because if you don't use it the shell doesn't know how to interpreter your command...

now type cd src and compile type 'Make'
this should bring you to the circlemud license, when you are finished reading the licence press return. Then your mud will compile, spitting out object files.

after you are finished, type pico config.c or find out witch editor you are using, emac config.c or vi config.c
then search for port... use control-W to search then type in port

change the port number to one you can use...

then type '..'
this should bring you back to the top circle directory..

edit the 'autorun' file
'pico autorun'

change the port to the same port number you have idenified in config.c

after that exit and save...


then type ./autorun &

and your mud should be working....................

remeber to use the commands in the ' ' without the ' '

okay!

[dharkmud@ericlinux circle30bpl17]$ ./configure &
[1] 5207
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[dharkmud@ericlinux circle30bpl17]$

I did exactly what you suggested.

Looks like the setup script is trying to use an interpreter that you don't have. Open up the configure file and look at the first line, something like #!/bin/*sh. If you don't have the shell it needs (bash, sh, csh, tcsh, zsh etc.) you can install it.

And the & after the command has nothing to do with interpretation. It just makes the process run in the background.

.

I'm a bit confused as your modified Circle mud you've advertised only a few days ago (dec 11th) RenshaiMud appears to be still up and running just fine. So if it's running why in the heck would you be rerunning configure anyways!?
