where is windlight on linux ?

where is windlight on linux ? I had windlight on linux but I saw a message telling me I needed to download the last version for use windlight. I went to the adress for download it (http://secondlife.com/community/firstlook.php) but when I tried to download windlight for linux it was dazzle version in place of windlight !
What can I do ? Do you have same problem ?

Windlight is included in the latest Release Candidate. Maybe you found it already.

I was pretty mad keen to try out the 'web on a prim' release candidate and, lo, I find windlight is on there which I love. I guess this means windlight will be in a Second Life mainstream release sometime soon...

I tried last candidate, but always crashing after I connect.

Crashes on Linux if you have a locale that uses “,” for fractional numbers. Workaround:

export LANG=C

This bug pops up every once in a while, you should put it into your regression test suite

uh what should I do more precisely ?

Edit your secondlife start script and put:

export LANG=C

on top of it.

Or if you don not like edit scripts you can start SL via terminal directly with the setting:

export LANG=C; /path/SecondLife_i686_1_19_1_0_RELEASECANDIDATE/secondlife

Whereby "path" has to be replaced there you have installed Client

Thank you for your help, now it work.

Ah so this bug **does** exist in windlight. I was beginning to think that only my builds were trigging it (although I have a patch to fix the issue on my builds).

Basically if you look at the code the locale is switched *a lot* but it seems that there is a bug in the switching code that causes it to fallback to the users locale when it was suppose to be on the C locale at that time.

I'm off to reopen my JIRA!.... I've reopened VWR-5056 with a patch attached to protect the fscanf routines around the reading of the xml files.

BTW what Linux distribution do you use? May be this is a combination of issues that is not triggered on all distros?

The above workaround does not work with my mandriva 2007 / 2007.1 distros.

Hi Ara

Did you get the "bone without position" message? the last few lines are not the issue, if you can go back in the log a little further and post the results.

Hello again,

meanwhile I found this thread: /263/ba/245194/1.html

there it says: "export LC_ALL=C"

this works for me

thank you all,

regards,
Ara
