Summary | 0004146: Game unable to start due to "main index file missing/corrupted" | |||||
Description | This bug originates in 0.31.19; .18 worked fine. When trying to start the game, after it loads the keybindings from data/init/interface.txt it exits with the following dialog message: FATAL ERROR Main index file missing/corrupted. The file "index" must be in the "data" folder. Make sure DF decompressed into its folders properly. | |||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1) Install Dwarf Fortress on a 64-bit linux system 2) copy over 32-bit variants of the libraries it needs into df_linux/lib until it no longer fails on missing libraries. 3) Attempt to launch the game. | |||||
Additional Information | According to MD5 checksums, the index file is identical to one on a different 32-bit linux install which works fine. | |||||
Tags | 0.31.19, 0.31.20, 64-bit, linux | |||||

Reminder sent to: kaosdrachen Did you unzip a new version of the game on top of a previous installation? |
(0015836) kaosdrachen (reporter) 2011-03-06 12:54 |
No, I explicitly renamed the existing (working) version to df_old before unpacking the new version to its own directory. |
(0015837) Footkerchief (manager) 2011-03-06 13:06 |
Have you tried installing the libraries on your system instead of copying them into df_linux/lib? I don't know if copying libraries into there is recommended. |
(0015838) kaosdrachen (reporter) 2011-03-06 13:18 |
The libraries aren't the problem. If they were the binary wouldn't be able to even execute because of missing/incompatible symbols. The game starts, reads its config files, tries to read data/index and throws up the above error. |
(0015839) Footkerchief (manager) 2011-03-06 13:21 |
I didn't mean that libraries are executing incorrectly, I meant that the index file seems to function as a manifest and you may be throwing it off by including new files in the lib folder. Try installing them with your system libs instead. |
(0015840) kaosdrachen (reporter) 2011-03-06 13:23 |
If it's a manifest, is there a way to rebuild it in situ? |
(0015841) kaosdrachen (reporter) 2011-03-06 13:26 |
Copying the index file from the old DF seems to have worked, although it is complaining a lot about missing keybinds and the escape key doesn't seem to interrupt the intro movie anymore. |
