Crispy, you should know better by now- bad dog! (whaps Crispy with a rolld up newspaper). That said, Gov: Crispy *did* talk about Putty quite early in this thread ([link]) and was later followed up with instructions on how to use putty. Though in fairness, you did not provide enough info to understand your situation (you had not even responded whether or not you even read the README file I mentioned), and we made assumptions you knew what you were doing.

Let's continue to try and help him, but without the insults ok?

[edit: Goveggie, have you asked the FrostMUD guy if it is ok to install BYOND and run BYOND-based games from his server? some free hosts don't care for third party daemons/programs that run in the background all the time that are prone to suck down their bandwidth (and i understand that icon chatterz can do that on occassion). better to make sure you have permission to install BYOND there before we help out anymore).]


I know the host of FrostMud personally, I speak to him often. (well, personally...over the net).

You could say we're friends.

Want me to ask him?

he doesnt mind but sure go and ask him
In response to Wolf01
If it won't work correctly, do the following between the lines:

---------
If you get library errors, I have a file that is hard to find that will work on Debian - http://www.terranwolf.com/BYOND/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Download that and copy it to your lib directory. To download it correctly, do the following [you should be in the bin directory when doing this]:

cd ..
cd ..
cd ..


Now, you should be before your root directory. Download the above file and then send it to your lib directory and type this:

cp libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /lib

Now, go to the root directory, then byond, then bin, then test DreamMaker again. If you still have errors, locate the file missing and cp it to the /lib directory [FROM NOW ON, STAY IN THE BIN DIR!!!].

That's all you have to do to install byond on your Linux Shell

I am up to this part can u explain to me abit more of what i have to do i have gotten the file in to lib folder or do i have to do it via shell?


this is what i have done so far


There are two options for installing BYOND. You can install
it for all users or you can install it for your own personal
use. To install for all users, you must run this makefile
as root. In that case, edit this makefile, configure the
installation parameters to your liking, and run 'make install'.

To install for your personal use, simply put the 'byond'
directory where you want to keep it and type 'make here'.

william@frostmud:~/byond$ cd bin
william@frostmud:~/byond/bin$ DreamMaker
DreamMaker: error while loading shared libraries: libbyond.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
william@frostmud:~/byond/bin$ cp libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /lib
cp: cannot stat `libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3': No such file or directory
william@frostmud:~/byond/bin$ cd make
-bash: cd: make: No such file or directory
