Running on Raspberry Pi2 and learning some BASIC Linux

Hi all,

I came to this website from the Raspberry Pi website board post about running a MUD on the Raspberry Pi. I used to play on a CircleMUD back in 1995 called EliteMUD, so I really like that someone was still working with the old CircleMUD code and updating it, and I figured I'd try it out, if only to reminisce about the old MUD and show my kids how it worked.

I'm a complete Linux newbie so you'll have to forgive if I'm missing something basic.

So far I have:

- logged in as pi
- downloaded the 3.66 zip file into the home/pi directory
- changed to a SU shell: sudo -s
- unzipped the file
- gone into the new tba directory and run ./configure (which seemed fine)
- done the cd src; make and read and accepted the terms
- watched the compiler do its thing after accepting the terms
- gone back up a level to the main directory
- entered ./autorun &

So at this point, I get a session number pop up, something like: [1234]

and then nothing else happens, and I get a CRASH log that has a lot of "file not found" error messages in it.

If I got into bin and ./circle the third line is a FATAL error data directory not found or something along those lines.

I have a feeling I'm missing a fundamental step. Any ideas?

Much appreciated,

Regards,
Criz.
