Re: Weird Torcs error

Hi Eugene

Can you post the output of "torcs -l"?

No, not required, the only thing which needs some tweaking regarding 64 
bit is plib (not part of TORCS itself), it must usually be compiled with 
-fPIC (see 
http://torcs.sourceforge.net/index.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=30#c2_3). 
But I guess (!) that's not the problem here.

You need first to change to the directory containing libtgf.so, see 
output of "torcs -l" to locate it (or use find/file browser).

Ok, sorry for the confusion:-)
- ldconfig: command to manage linker cache for ld.so (see "man ldconfig")
- ld.so.conf, configuration file, see also "man ldconfig"
- $LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Environment variable to adjust search for linked 
libraries, it is used as well in the "torcs" script (see around line 40).

Btw. some other thought, if you are new to Linux, why are you using it 
at all, what about using Windows for your work, would that be an option 
(of course I encourage the use of Linux, but in the context of limited 
time/fixed schedule it could make sense to use a familiar platform to 
have less battles to fight...)?
