symbol lookup error

[berserk9779]

I get the following CLI output when trying to run Spring (or when I try to start a game in springlobby)

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/spring: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/bin/spring: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost15program_options19options_descriptionC1ERKSsj

It seems to be some issue with libboost, so I have tried switching from 1.40 to 1.42 a few times with no results.

I am on Ubuntu 64bit and I have installed Spring from ppa

Thanks

PS: unitsync in /usr/local/lib/libunitsync.so is not recognized and crashed springlobby; so I pointed it to /usr/lib/spring/libunitsync.so and I can at least chat and see multiplayer games

the spring binary you started there is not the one you installed via the engine package from the ppa

what koshi said. looks like you compiled spring yourself in the past, and that is still installed and being used there. as a general rule (for linux, not for spring), all stuff under /usr/local/ is manually installed. PPA stuff will never be installed under /usr/local/.
you can simply delete all spring stuff you can find under /usr/local/.

After purging spring and unitsync and manually deleting all spring* files and directories, I have reinstalled and all is fine.

Thanks
