Lich on Ubuntu 16.04 on 05/30/2018 05:14 PM CDT

Hello everyone,

Trying to get Lich running on my Ubuntu system, having a bit of trouble. Basically everything is installed, except when I try to boot it up I get this error:

The gtk2 gem is not installed (or failed to load), you may need to: sudo gem install gtk2

I know for a fact that gtk2 is installed. In fact, when I try and run wine as a superuser the SGE opens, so I'm certain its some kind of permission thing. Except you can't run wine as sudo so it immediately crashes. Any tips?

No worries, I feel that way most days, myself.

Couple of things leap out at me here.

First, in the 'LOCAL GEMS' list, you can see that GTK2 is not listed, nor are any of the other gems that are prerequisite for GTK2.

Second, I see you're running RVM (that's what the .rvm means). It's entirely possible (probable, in fact) that you have multiple instances of Ruby running on your system. Let's see if we can find any others and see if there's a GTK2 installed there. Another command:

rvm list

That'll show us which ruby versions you have installed.

Um, you're the expert Doug, and I may be incredibly dense, but doesn't that say Ruby 2.3.4 right at the top? Don't you have to have Ruby 2.0.x? Or is that different in Ubuntu/Linux or whatever it is?

Re: Lich on Ubuntu 16.04 on 05/30/2018 06:24 PM CDT

I installed lich perfectly on one of my laptops, Ubuntu 16.04, I have ruby 2.3 there.

This is my other laptop, and is the more screwed up of the two as it was the very first machine I installed Linux on, so there's a ton of newbie mistakes I made.

Dunno about 'expert', but. . .

Lich requires at least 2.0.

Lich works on 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4

On 2.3 and 2.4, a special edit is necessary for Lich to work with all programs.

I personally usually recommend 2.2.5, last of the 2.2 series, only because a lot of folks don't like to edit the Lich core file (or re-edit when a new version is downloaded).

Re: Lich on Ubuntu 16.04 on 05/30/2018 06:27 PM CDT

let's try

rvm use 2.4.1

and then, after it says it has switched, let's again go with

gem list

There ya go!

Actually, you can just leave it the way it is. If you reboot your system, you'll probably come back to 2.3.x Just remember to issue the

rvm use 2.4.1

command and you should be all good.

Give it a go, and see what problems you face. I think you still have an edit ahead of you to fully use Lich.

Re: Lich on Ubuntu 16.04 on 05/30/2018 10:23 PM CDT

Did a bit more research, it looks like at the end of the day 16.04 doesn't work due to ruby 2.3 interfering with $SAFE3, so this entire thread is kind of moot. I might downgrade one of them to 14.10 to play GS4, not sure yet. Thanks Doug for the help.

Re: Lich on Ubuntu 16.04 on 05/30/2018 10:29 PM CDT

Is this also Wormfood?

That particular $SAFE variable issue is the one I was expecting. We can edit the lich.rbw file to take that out of play, if you wish. If you don't wish, we can use RVM to install Ruby 2.2.5 and appropriate gems.

Neither option requires you to backrev your linux build.
