My server will run fine but when I run the client I get >the following message As I mentioned in the README, civclient tends to crash. I haven't been able to figure out why, yet. One reason seems to be environment space. Try to unset all variables not needed to run civclient. At least for me that solves the problem. Another solution is to *not* use and hence not set FREECIV_DATADIR and instead run civclient in a directory containing the datafiles in a dir named 'data'. If that doesn't help too I'm outof ideas. Perhaps you could try compiling yourself for your particular system. For more on this see my post to the list from 98/9/17 20:20:01 GMT named 'environment space limit in cygwin32?' and it's follow-ups. The main Problem seems to be a call to XtAppAddTimeOut at line 403 in xmain.c causing the following XtVaGetValues to SIGSEGV. Unfortunately I don't have the time and knowledge to research this in detail. I'll try to find out more anyway. >BASH.EXE-2.02$ civclient >1: Using fallback resources - which is OK This is normal. >1: Your getpwuid call failed. Please report this. This is new to me.
