In Terminal, enter this command: whereis bzflagwildrune11 wrote:Wait.. actually.. it seems to have completely uninstalled itselfI got onto it when I installed it, but now it's gone, I can't get back to it even on the superuser account. I searched my computer for it but it only returns the old version.
I got this:Macskeeball wrote: In Terminal, enter this command: whereis bzflag
What output do you get?

If you're on OSX, you do not want to install the game with 'make install' as that will screw stuff up. If you did so on a Mac, go back to your source directory for BZFlag and do a 'sudo make uninstall'.Acehart wrote:"You may encounter a name conflict with other installed versions of BZFlag. Also, you probably won't have a GUI launcher for the new version. That is, a BZFlag shortcut in your Applications menu, your dock, or whatever it is you use to launch programs in the graphical interface. You may have to either create one or launch BZFlag from Terminal."
Ok I've done everything else to install 2.4 using Macskeeball's method and everything seems set, but how do you launch the application - do you just type "launch"?
Forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question, but I have to ask, since I pretty much suck at using Terminal
How did you build/install the game? We don't read minds, and without more information we can't help you.wildrune11 wrote:Cool, got it installed, but one problem. I installed it on superuser account and all the people that live with me have their own user accounts. It doesn't seem to have installed for everyone except the superuser account, how can I install it for all?
Ah, I guess you posted OSX instructions too. I didn't see those when I looked back, so I thought that Acehart used the Linux method instead of the "OSX way".Macskeeball wrote:I didn't only post OS X instructions. I also posted Linux instructions, and I'm pretty sure that both Acehart and wildrune11 were using those. Acehart quoted part of my Linux instructions, and wildrune11 has posted responses to it as well. Perhaps you missed my second post?
Wildrune11: Did you modify my instructions in any way, such as by adding "--prefix=$HOME/bzflag-2.4.0/" to the ./configure command (as seen in one of blast's posts)?
My OS X instructions were my first post (originally there were no official 2.4 binaries for Mac), back on page 1. Based on what Acehart replied to, I'm assuming he's a Linux user.blast wrote:Ah, I guess you posted OSX instructions too.

I followed the instructions that Macskeeball wrote earlier. When I got the issue, I tried modifying it with what was in Constitution's link, but that didn't help me either.blast wrote:How did you build/install the game? We don't read minds, and without more information we can't help you.
Nope, I followed your instructions exactly. I tried the ones that Constitution linked me too, but that didn't help. Will it install into the folder that it is in? e.g., if I have it in the Downloads folder will it install BZFlag into the Downloads folder?Macskeeball wrote:Did you modify my instructions in any way, such as by adding "--prefix=$HOME/bzflag-2.4.0/" to the ./configure command (as seen in one of blast's posts)?
What what? I'm confusedPropane Tank wrote:Yeah. It will if I remember right in the folder it's in the src folder.
