I "made" the code in Ubuntu, and it made all the o-files (It did not, however, echo "Mud Compiled." when it finished, so maybe something is problematic there?
Anyway, I tried to "nohup ./startup &" and this is what it returned:

zecred@zecred-desktop:~$ cd /media/disk/SoA/SoA/src
zecred@zecred-desktop:/media/disk/SoA/SoA/src$ nohup ./startup &
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
nohup: cannot run command `./startup': No such file or directory
[1] 6538
[1]+ Exit 127 nohup ./startup
zecred@zecred-desktop:/media/disk/SoA/SoA/src$

Hope you all can make something of it and get back to me. Thanks!

You might try using ls to verify that the script startup is in that folder, and if it's not, check the folder above that one for it instead.

It's in there, I checked. But maybe it's not recognizing it? I'll change the filename to read "./startup". Think that might help?

I had this exact problem, you need to get the c shell

go to terminal, and type these exact lines

sudo apt-get install tcsh

and

sudo apt-get install csh

that should sort it all out

Nope, that should definitely not help... Legaeldan's solution might work, if you somehow missed installing tcsh or csh, but it could also just be a permissions thing if the file's there and it's not finding it. You really want startup to have rwxrwx--- perms most likely.

Hey, folks. I know this thread's been dead a while, but ever since I started this thread, there've been several revisions to the Lands Of Pabulum codebase, and now I'm having issues once again.

So, I'm kind of confused by this, as I've never encountered it before. I have the libraries I need (as far as I know, including the c shell and zlib-dev), but still it's having difficulties. If you awesome folks can make any sense of this and offer some tips, I'd be really appreciative. Thanks!

If you need any more info, let me know. Thanks for your time.

Well, your errors look like they've got to do with the const thing to me which is beyond my knowledges, but the smiley thing I can help with. Aside from the fact that we all know a is a semicolon followed by a closing parenthesis, if you use the code tag ([ code ] then your pasted data followed by [ /code ]) the forum should ignore the smiley opportunities.

Well without having the system to test things out on it is hard to say, but it looks like it uses stat differently then most. Hopefully someone has a bit more experience with that system and can shed some light on the changes etc.... Just by the looks of it though considering I don't see anything about it complaining in other places where stat are used that it might just need an include added to the file.
Try adding this around the other includes in comm.c

#include 

What's the can_use_path() function look like?

bool can_use_path( CHAR_DATA *ch, const char *direct, const char *filename )
{
   char newfilename[1024];
   struct stat fst;

   /* Length restrictions */
   if( !filename || filename[0] == '\0' )
   {
      if( ch )
         send_to_char( "Empty filename is not valid.\r\n", ch );
      return false;
   }
   if( strlen( filename ) < 3 )
   {
      if( ch )
         ch_printf( ch, "Filename (%s) isn't long enough.\r\n", filename );
      return false;
   }

   /* Illegal characters */
   if( strstr( filename, ".." ) || strstr( filename, "/" ) || strstr( filename, "\\" ) )
   {
      if( ch )
         send_to_char( "A filename may not contain a '..', '/', or '\\' in it.\r\n", ch );
      return false;
   }

   /* If that filename is already being used lets not allow it now to be on the safe side */
   snprintf( newfilename, sizeof( newfilename ), "%s%s", direct, filename );
   if( stat( newfilename, &fst ) != -1 )
   {
      if( ch )
         ch_printf( ch, "The filename (%s) is already used.\r\n", filename );
      return false;
   }

   /* If we got here assume its valid */
   return true;
}

In that case you've got it right.

#include

Should fix the problem.

Yup, it's working perfectly. Remcon, might want to make that tiny fix in the source so that you don't have a bunch of confused compilers.

I appreciate the help. Thanks for your time!
