OK, I'll give you a short chronology of my problems with melville 0.9.1:
- Downloaded and installed DGD1.2p2 from dwarfin's site. Running ok with his
own mudlib.
- Downloaded melville 0.9.1 and unzipped into DGD's folder. Consulted README
Problem 1: There is no "Melvmud" config file. So I try to use
- mud.dgd with root dir changed -> melville.dgd
- Melvmud from melville 0.8
Results:
- Melvmud:
Config error, line 23: unknown option
-> line 23: value_stack = 950;   /* value stack */
- melville.dgd:
/system/driver.c, 85: returned value doesn't match string (int)
Error within runtime_error:
Compilation within compilation
Compilation within compilation
Config error: initialization failed
-> driver.c line 85:
string path_read(string path) {
    if (!previous_object()->valid_read(path)) return 0 ;  <= obviously
doesn't return a string
    return path ;
}

I tried to replace the return 0 with return "" but many other errors of that
kind came, making me wonder if this release of melville is complete or ready
for release.
Can you tell me what's going on?

Albert
