Problem running self-compiled linux server

[Mdbelen]

Hi there, i'm just trying to compile the mta server on my own to be able to make some small changes (remove the hardcoded login command amongst others)

I want to use this server on Debian 6 64bit, I'm compiling on Debian 6 32bit.

I can run the precompiled 1.1 server on this 64bit Debian, so the 64bit is not the problem. (In order to run i just needed to apt-get install lib32ncursesw5 lib32readline5 )

I can't run the server which I compiled, though. When starting it, it says:

libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ERROR: Loading mod (/home/gameserver/mta-test1/mods/deathmatch/deathmatch.so) failed!

Press Q to shut down the server!

Apparently there's no lib32pcre (libpcre and libpcre-dev are installed) out there which I could install. But this shouldn't be necessary anyway, because the precompiled version runs well without it.

My question is: What to do to compile the source so that the output is exactly like the precompiled one?

I followed the instructions in the wiki (both the first and the second one) for the source from svn/branches/1.1.1/ and svn/tags/1.1/ and svn/tags/1.1.1/

The only change I applied to the source was setting MTASA_VERSION_TYPE to VERSION_TYPE_RELEASE in the MTA10_Server/version.h

I tried to configure pcre with --disable-shared and without that. And to configure mta with --disable-system-pcre and with --with-pcre=yes but nothing works. I am shattered.

Well i got my server starting now by putting the http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 1_i386.deb -> /lib/libpcre.so.3.12.1 to /lib32/libpcre.so.3 .

But my question remains, why are my binaries different from the precompiled ones?

gr8, found the solution: make was "caching all changes away" or whatever. Have never worked with it. I guess after changing something (including arguments for ./configure) i had to use one of make clean, make uninstall or make distclean.

The solution to my original problem was indeed configuring with the parameter --without-system-pcre .
