Python client can't start gets Illegal Instruction

Asked by Jonas Christoffersen

Installed the python client on Ubuntu 10.04
as described in the wiki guide.

After install I try to start the client by running the run.sh but it just gives me an Illegal Instruction error.

I then tryid to run the python code with

gdb pyton
r XiboClient.py

and this is the result:

49 /usr/include/boost/python/scope.hpp: No such file or directory.

I guess the error has something to do with this last part, but anyone have any idea what it means and how to fix it?

What hardware are you using. What version of the client are you using?

Illegal instruction usually means that the hardware lacks the accelerated 3D support required or you don't have appropriate drivers installed for the hardware.

I don't know about that error - it's coming from libboostpython which is part of Ubuntu's packaging so I can't really help you there.

What I would say is the client is known to run on NVidia, Intel and some ATI hardware. If you're running on anything unusual (and it sounds like you are) then it's very likely that it won't work.

If you download and build the latest version of libavg from their website and it works then there's a good chance the version we release to go along with Ubuntu 12.04 will work OK - but for now you're out of luck.
