<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>still trying to install dgd 1.0.9 and the old
xyllomer mud lib :p. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you'd like to help me readon, if not, save
yourself some time and well.. not :p</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, to start: i'm using mandrake linux 7.2,
connect to the internet through a cable modem service, therefore I use the DHCP
package.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's how I've installed DGD. I downloaded both
the driver, and the mudlib into my tmp file. I then copied dgd out into
/home/ryan, and did 'tar xvfz dgd.1.0.9.tar.gz' </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then copy the mudlib into /home/ryan/dgd/mud, and
then untar it using the same options as above. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then modify the muds config file, called lpmud in
this case. I set the base directory, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then go into /dgd/src/host and 'cp Makefile.sysv
Makefile',</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then type 'make'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then back up into the /dgd/src directory, and
edit the makefile where it says HOST , and change it from NETBSD, to LINUX.. I
then do 'make', and then a 'make install'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The driver executable ends up in bin. So then, I go
into bin, and type ./driver /home/ryan/dgd/mud/lib/lpmud & </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything loads, it sets up the ipc, then
says</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gethostbyname: no file or directory found, and
exits.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is where i guess i'm lost. I tried doing a man
3 gethostbyname, which led me to the /etc/hosts file. The 127. whatever ip is
there for the local host, and my hostname SKIPPY.rr.com is there, but no ip is
next to it inside the ""</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Heh, so can anyone help me out? Hope im' not
leaving anything out.. oh and I tried all this under both root and a user. Same
results.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
