Archlinux launching problem

[muunleit]

Hello Brendo,

I have packaged your game for Archlinux quiet some time ago (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45944). Yesterday one of our users mentioned to have problems to launch the game.

When I try to launch it the loading screen appears and then it crashes. Heres the output of the terminal. http://pastebin.com/GuvLQfNR . I had this problem already before the update.

I have compared his output to my one and it looks the same until line 481.

[code]
[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
mono: xcb_io.c:178: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq' failed.

Additionally I asked him for some information about his system => http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=paAk4Cxh

Do you have any idea what could cause these problems and how he can solve it?

We fixed it already.

It seems to be caused by some of the libs shipped with the game. The user is using a 64bit-system. Another user posted a list which libs should be replaced with 64bit-libs and now seems to work.

Sorry.

[Brendon]

That's great news. Can you post a link to that list? Thanks!

The changes in the build-script (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/at/a ... r/PKGBUILD) where:

[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && depends=('libgdiplus' 'mono' 'csfml-bin')

if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
# remove packaged libraries
cd $pkgdir/opt/$pkgname/data
rm *.so*
rm `ls | grep .dll | grep -v ^sfmlnet | grep -v ^Tao`

# point startup script to system mono
