Problem with unitsync library

I finally got Spring lobby up and running.
When I log in I get a screen
"Couldn't get your spring version from the unitsync library.
Online play will be disabled."
Any suggestions?

I do have
/usr/games/lib64/libunitsync.so

I have this problem too with spring lobby. TASClient gives me a different bunch of errors. Neither let me play.

Same here.
Spring works well, but springlobby doesn't. Running it in from console doesn't show anything strange.

what are the paths in your settings? can you get the lobby log (output to a console if you are in linux) before connecting to the server?
send it to
http://www.pastebin.com and paste here the url it gave
EDIT if you're in linux, try also to
run this

I too have this issue. Vista 32-bit SP1 with SpringLobby 0.0.1.10367
Starting the SpringLobby client rewards me with this error: "Couldn't get your spring versions from any unitsync library - Online play is currently disabled". Spring is well behaved in every other way (so far...).
There are no files in the spring/lobby/logs folder. Is there an option to turn logging on?
Thanks,
P.S. Since this is a somewhat dead thread, should I have started a new one?

The problem has been solved.
The path were wrong, so check them
You need the correct execution file and the correct unitsync.so path

Okay great! Thanks. When you say that I need the correct execution file and unitsync.so path, I'm a bit fuzzy on what you mean. Which file is it that I edit with the correct path to the correct execution file? I've found a few files with 'unitsync' in the name, namely unitsync.log and unitsync.dll, but those don't seem helpful in this situation.

Well I may not be helpfull because I'm on linux but here is my path :
Spring executable :
/usr/games/bin/spring (so I suppose you have to put the path of your spring.exe)
Unitsync library :
/usr/games/lib64/libunitsync.so (unitsync.dll on windows ?)
You probably need someone on windows to help you because I can't do it anymore

I had the same problem on Vista after reinstalling Spring into a different location. The SpringLobby config file is here:
C:/Users/YourUserName/AppData/Roaming/springlobby/springlobby.conf
NOTE: AppData is a hidden folder, enable showing hidden files to see it.
Change the SpringBinPath and the UnitSyncPath variables to the proper installation path.

To be more specific, this is how it worked for me in ubuntu:
1. open up .springlobby.conf:
sudo gedit /home/marco/.springlobby
2. Change the following line:
UnitSyncPath=/usr/lib/spring/unitsync.so
to
UnitSyncPath=/usr/lib/spring/libunitsync.so
3. voila
