What mod have you selected?

your problem is related to springcontent.sdz which is either not found or corrupted, it should be placed in the spring folder, base subdirectory; the fastest way to fix it is perhaps simply doing a new, clean installation.
also note that your springdownloader issues were produced by unitsync library whom depends from this file as well, so fixing this should fix your other problems too

I just tried to reproduce this error (moved away springcontent.sdz) & got slightly another error:
Code: Select all
Content error: could not find 'gamedata/parse_tdf.lua' code

But that's only if it's corrupted to the point of not being a valid zip file; there might be a slightly corrupted file.

this is almost always a base content issue; try reinstalling.

Hello!
I just compiled spring & springlobby (Gentoo ~x86 kde4.3). When I wanted to start the game (# spring ) it gave me :
Code: Select all
daniel@painteru ~ $ spring
using default configuration source "/home/daniel/.springrc"

Any hint how to handle with and to star the game?

you may had configure/compile time errors, that were not fatal (spring related, not springlobby). do you have 7zip installed?
for a quick fix, maybe it is enough to copy base files (files under the dir base/) from an other spring installation or from buildbot.
