I should add it to the FAQ as it is the second time the problem
occurs.
The problem is PLIB 1.5
Please get the 1.4.2 version (http://plib.sf.net) and it will
work better.
You'll have to run the ./configure command again for TORCS.

PLIB team decided to use the same version numbering principles
than the Linux kernel, so the 1.5.0 is an exact copy of the 1.4.0
for the development branch (odd numbers are for development and
even numbers for stable branch). By using the 1.5.0 version of PLIB
the Debian people thought it was a recent version... but it is older
than the 1.4.2 :-(

And due to some incompatibilities between PLIB versions,
TORCS is currently running *ONLY* with the PLIB 1.4.2 version
and *NOT* the 1.6.x

Bye,
Eric.

Looks like you're right about it being a dynamic lib loader problem,
this is the last message to the console:

Loading Graphic Engine...
linuxModLoad: ...  modules/graphic/ssggraph.so: undefined symbol:
__11ssgVtxTable6GLenumP14ssgVertexArrayP14ssgNormalArrayP16ssgTexCoordArray=
P14ssgColourArray

I'm running a debian 3.0 flavour (Norvegian Skolelinux) with a 2.4.19
kernel. More importantly i'm using gcc 2.95 and plib 1.5.

Hope this clarifies things,

Well it's not exactly the same problem. I had compilation problems
myself when I moved to GCC 3.2, and the modifications are available
in the CVS tree.

Thanks for your help,
Eric.

I thonk it is a dynamic library loading problem (missing symbol
in general...)

try to recompile with:

$ cd <torcs directory>
$ make clean
$ ./configure --enable-debug
$ make && make install

The game won't work better, but in the console you'll
have tons of traces, and certainly the last one should
be the problem while loading ssggraph.so

Could you indicate also your linux distro and the version
of PLIB on your system, there are known problems with
PLIB version other than 1.4.2


Thanks,
Eric Espie.

Hmm, no it still won't work. If I comment just line 40 or just line 43
it hangs at Loading Graphics Engine and if I comment both it hangs at
Loading Simulation Engine...

I'm lost and I really wanted to try TORCS :(

more suggestions are welcome.

recently sombody else had the same problem. look at

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=739494&forum_id=11281

for a quick workaround.

bye, bernhard.

Hello,

I've recently obtained TORCS 1.10 through a Linux Format cd. I've
successfully compiled and installed the following packages:

TORCS-1.1.0b-src.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-data-cars-gt.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-data.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-src-robots-base.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0a-src-robots-berniw.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-data-cars-dtm.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-data-cars-misc.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-data-tracks-base.tgz
TORCS-1.1.0-src-robots-K1999.tgz

However, it won't work. That is; it I can start it, calibrate my
steering wheel, create a player select tracks, opponets and so on, but
when I try racing (either through quick race or through practice) it
hangs displaying:

Race Configuration...
Loading Simulation Engine...
Loading Graphics Engine...

(and a picture)

Still, top reports that torcs is happily chewing 95% of my CPU cycles.

I've tried setting graphics option down, running only bots, but it
doesn't work and shouldn't it work on a AthlonXP 1800+ with a GeForce2
card??
