Dedicated Server No Longer Starts on CentOS After Recent Update

Category: KAG Server
Operating system: Linux (CentOS 6)
Build number: Latest
Description: Dedicated server will not startup after updating to latest version. Attempted on my existing install and a completely fresh install. Both give the below errors

Code:

Could not load game module Base/../libJuxta_dedi.so (errno 115)
THE END

Steps to reproduce: Type ./KAGDedi in server directory and press enter. Above error is encountered.

 

Code:

LoadLibrary ERROR: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found

This is due to the Steam api.

What does

Code:

strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

return?

 

Hey Mazey,

The output of this command is below.

Code:

[kag@server ~]$ strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

I do have some steamcmd servers running on the box if that makes a difference.

 

Try to install GLIBCXX 3.4.15 some way, I managed to do it with my Ubuntu but can't find it for Centos, I'll keep searching though.

Ok, glibcxx 3.4.15 isn't compatible with Centos yet, you can change to Fedora if that's ok or get debian based os (Debian/Ubuntu), no idea why you actually chose for Centos ._.

 

CentOS is the standard in enterprise hosting which is why it's being used.

A better question is why the Dev is using a version of Glib that is incompatible with something used on a huge number of dedicated servers.

I will try and find a workaround but if not, then I'm dropping the KAG server until there is an update either to CentOS or KAG. I'm not completely wiping my system just to host one game.

 

Well Centos is quite behind stuff, it releases stuff when it's stable 'enough' which is the reason 3.4.15 isn't on Centos 6 yet, that's why I recommend to change OS is general.
also IMO it's stupid that it uses glibcxx too but Geti responded that it's Steam's fault, KAG probably can't change it.

 

Thanks for the reply Geti. I know another game or two with steam integration that now have this issue(Contagion is one) so that makes sense. I will try and find some sort of work around for the issue.

 

Asked the question for you on unix exchange, mind checking this http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/99232/49533

 

Leaving this here since it's returning from centos search results but let me know if worth to add on the wiki.

Just managed to get working the kag server on my Centos 6.4 by compiling from the sources gcc 4.8.2

Assuming you get the error

Code:

Using file 'Base/../libJuxta_dedi.so'
LoadLibrary ERROR: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by lib/libsteam_api.so)

Build and installing GCC 4.8.2 to /opt/gcc-4.8.2

Code:

yum install wget gcc gcc-c++ make zip tar

mkdir /gcc
cd /gcc
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.8.2
./contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
mkdir objdir
cd objdir/
$PWD/../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.8.2 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --enable-threads=posix --disable-nls --disable-multilib --disable-libgcj
make
make install

Replace /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 link to the new one

Code:

ln -s -f /opt/gcc-4.8.2/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Or if you prefer a chroot so that you don't replace gcc for the whole system I do this instead

Code:

mkdir -p /chroot-kag/
mkdir -p /chroot-kag/var/lib/rpm
rpm --rebuilddb --root=/chroot-kag/
rpm -i --root=/chroot-kag --nodeps http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/i386/Packages/centos-release-6-4.el6.centos.10.i686.rpm
yum --installroot=/chroot-kag install -y rpm-build yum
cp /etc/resolv.conf /chroot-kag/etc/resolv.conf
cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions /chroot-kag/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
mount --bind /proc /chroot-kag/proc
mount --bind /dev /chroot-kag/dev
chroot /chroot-kag
yum install wget gcc gcc-c++ make zip tar
mkdir /gcc
cd /gcc
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gcc-4.8.2.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.8.2
./contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
mkdir objdir
cd objdir/
$PWD/../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.8.2 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --enable-threads=posix --disable-nls --disable-multilib --disable-libgcj
make
make install
ln -s -f /opt/gcc-4.8.2/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
