FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi!

I tryed to install the Ubuntu-deb-Package on a Debian-Box to run a server from there. That is what i got:

benni@nightingale:~$ minetestserver
minetestserver: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by minetestserver)
minetestserver: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by minetestserver)
benni@nightingale:~$ uname -a
Linux nightingale 2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 21 01:19:17 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
benni@nightingale:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
5.0.9

Is there a package for Debian anywhere? Or have i to install from source? Is there a way to install the needed library?

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Package for ubuntu works for Debian (Both operating systems use aptitude/apt-get/dpkg). Your problem came from non satisfied depends. Is libstdc++6 installed on your computer ?

Looks so:

benni@nightingale:~$ ls /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.*
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.10
benni@nightingale:~$ ls /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.*
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.10

maybe i need a newer version? But where to get one and how to install without messing the whole system up?

Thanks for any help again.

Ok, looks like i need a dist-upgrade. I have still an very old Debian lenny :-(

Indeed, you might have problems if you use an old version of Debian.
I tested minetest on Debian squeeze, it works well.

Debian lenny security support stops in February so it is a really good idea to upgrade to Debian squeeze ASAP.
