[CF-Devel] Problems installing server

[kevin at ank.com]

Hi all,

I just checked out crossfire from CVS half a week ago and have been
trying to get it up and running.  I'd rather use the top of the CVS
trunk instead of 1.0 since I'd like to make some customizations, and
I'd like to be near the top of the tree for that.

Unfortunately I've been having some trouble with the server.  After
a configure/make/make install/ cycle I tried running the server and
it complained about a missing 'faces' file.  I copied that from the
CVS lib directory to the location where it was looking for faces,
and the server started up, but shouldn't make install copy this file
automatically?

Then I've also had trouble connecting with an off the shelf client.
Since I'm not interested in playing with the client code, I just 
grabbed the prebuilt gcfclient for Redhat version 1.0.0.  Gcfclient
has terrible trouble with my server however complaining strongly
about the xpm images, or more often just segfaulting:

Is the current server not backward compatible with the 1.0
client?  Should I build the client from scratch too?

Thanks,
