MTA - Help with Server

[Bigstack]

*Note this is just a process I went through to get it working this MIGHT or MIGHT not help you. I wont be supporting anything below I'm lucky I got it working.

For starters I am on CentOS 6 64x box.. and other games are working great.

 

So i get this when i try to run:

[root@gamepanel 21]# ./mta-server
libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR: Could not load ./core.so
* Check installed data files.
Press enter to continue...

 

Which lead me to the

You are missing a dependency:
libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

So on some further research I ran into http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/centos-rhel-i386/ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.i686.rpm/download/

In which it turns out its already installed.... I looked further to see what else was needed and came onto http://bitnami.com/forums/forums/redmine/topics/libncursesw-so-5-error-on-mysql-install

 

Time long spent I ran the following to get some dependencies that were missing.

 

I used the following Just run all 3 some you might already have / dont need:

yum install compat-readline5-static
yum install readline.x86_64
yum install readline.i386

 

Also to solve the libsqlite3.so.0 startup issue

 

download this libsqlite3.so.0.zip and then upload the file to the root install folder where the "mta-server" file is. You will then need to run (I made a install and reinstall script to run this on install / start) so that the game will find the libsqlite3

run :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./

libsqlite3.so.zip
