UnrealIRCd failed to start

Post by julthon »

Hello!

I'm trying to start the UnrealIRCd service on arch linux, but instead of an error message I only get a error number:

Code: Select all

● unrealircd.service - IRC daemon

I'm using the latest version from the official arch package repository.

We do not recommend installing UnrealIRCd from repositories, and as such we do not have an official arch linux package. As such, we are unable to fully support UnrealIRCd installations installed using a package distribution when it comes to problems such as the one you show here.

Downloading and installing a precompiled package introduces many issues, such as:
  • The code may have been modified to function system-wide.
  • Unreal may have been compiled and packaged with different system library versions (Unreal is VERY sensitive when it comes to library versions).
  • The code may have been "fixed" or have new "features" introduced.
  • Unreal may not have installed properly.
  • You might have the "current" package offered by your repo, but may be an old version of Unreal.
Always download and compile Unreal yourself. Once you have done so, see if you have the same issue.

I can tell from the messages you received that your configuration is OK, which means this is likely a system issue to where Unreal may be expecting different lib versions or something else is missing.
