Bug 37622 – gnump3d fails to start (no error message)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Olaf Walkowiak 2004-01-08 09:40:52 UTC]

/etc/init.d/gnump3d start says OK, but that is not true.

Changing:

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet  --make-pidfile \
                --background --pidfile /var/run/gnump3d.pid \
                --exec /usr/bin/gnump3d2 -- --quiet


To:

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet  --make-pidfile \
                --background --pidfile /var/run/gnump3d.pid \
                --exec /usr/bin/gnump3d2

fixes the problem.

Reassigning to bug-wranglers as media-gfx is wrong. There is no media-sound email alias?

[Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-02-28 05:34:15 UTC]

this bug is sparc64 specific (and maybe other 64bit arcs are affected), and specifically a problem with perl.

[Comment 4 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-02-28 05:53:47 UTC]

Olaf,

Can you grep base64 out of the CONTENTS file for gnump3d? (on a vanilla box, that would be under /var/db/pkg/media-soung/gnump3d/). I'd like to see where it thinks it placed the module. Thanks!

[Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2004-02-28 09:40:15 UTC]

It looks like the environment file that gnump3d installs isn't getting sourced before this is run.  If you do an "env-update && source /etc/profile" and then run the init script, it should work if your config is valid.

I tested it with 2.6 and the perl modules were installed to /usr/lib/gnump3d.

[Comment 6 Olaf Walkowiak 2004-03-02 00:18:11 UTC]

orm gnump3d-2.6 # grep base64 CONTENTS 
obj /usr/lib/gnump3d/gnump3d/base64.pm b7e571b7babe80e01b5ffe4eadd6e9dc 1073582479


Right now it works again (after an update), Problem seems to be fixed

Glad to hear it.  If you have any more problems with this version, feel free to re-open.
