Hmm. Same thing happened to me after compiling the client from source on Kubuntu. I did a ./configure and make and then tried to run ./src/armagetronad_main but got an error about missing language British english. Only after doing make install would it run.

I dunno if that changes anything (just running “src/armagetronad-main” works for me, too), but there's a “make run” you're supposed to use…

Try

Code: Select all

./armagetronad-dedicated --datadir . --configdir .

or something like that. Use the --help flag to see all the options.

It's how you should start the server.

reminder to add solution information, probably ppl just don't know how to open a terminal and run the dedicated server from there (as far as I can tell right now)

Open “/Application/Utilities/Terminal.app”.
Type “cd ” and then drag the “Armagetron Advanced Dedicated” folder onto the Terminal.app window and press enter.
Enter “./armagetronad-dedicated --datadir . --configdir .”.
