Follow-up Comment #1, bug #16419 (project freeciv): I tried to reproduce this bug. I installed SVN r17748 of S2_2 into /home/kernigh/prefix/x-freeciv-2.2 of my OpenBSD system, then started the client:
$ prefix/x-freeciv-2.2/bin/freeciv-gtk2 The "Start New Game" button produced the same message: "Starting server Couldn't connect to the server We probably couldn't start it from here You'll have to start one manually. Sorry..." freeciv-server never started. I found no freeciv-server processes and no messages about /dev/null or IPv6. So I might not have reproduced the same bug. ---- The workaround for me was to add prefix/x-freeciv-2.2/bin to my PATH: $ PATH=prefix/x-freeciv-2.2/bin:$PATH $ freeciv-gtk2 Then I can start game like normal. (I like to skip 'gmake install' and run Freeciv from the build directory using ./civ, so I never noticed this bug before now.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?16419> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
