Hi, one of the servers I play on switched to the map UT4_Village.  I tried to autodownload it but I got this error:

Can not autodownload missing file(s), because the cURL library could not be loaded.

Anyone know how I can fix this?  I'm running Debian.  Thanks.

install libcurl.

I did a search on libcurl and about 1000 packages came up.

What's the package name exactly?

It depends on the distribution.

Distribution is Debian.

Listen up.

Install cURL.  However there might be a problem as described below.  The particular binary you need is 'libcurl.so.3'.

If you look at the source code to ioUrbanTerror, there is a part of it that is hardcoded to dynamically load 'libcurl.so.3'.  This was a problem on systems such as FreeBSD because the current version of libcurl is 'libcurl.so.4'.  The patch to the ioUrbanTerror source code for Freebsd was to change the text string "libcurl.so.3" to just "libcurl.so" where it was hardcoded in the code.  I actually helped with this patch.  It's simply a string of text in the code.  You can do a grep for it.

Install cURL if it is not already.  (To check, do a global search for 'libcurl.so'.)  If you have the problem with version 3 & version 4 mismatch as described above, either modify the source code as described above and recompile, or install an older version of cURL that provides 'libcurl.so.3'.  The sourcecode can be downloaded from a location specified in the readme.  On a Linux system the compile is really simple, just check the README or INSTALL file in the server source directory.

You can make it work for sure, it's just a matter of determination.

Aside from all this, I would NEVER place ut4_village on your computer.  It leads to some texture corruption issues on maps such as ut4_abbey.  Just steer clear of the particular map ut4_village.

You might want to add a

seta cl_cURLLib "libcurl.so.4"

to your config file.

The cvar has been added for this purpose

I remember telling the coder of it that debian had it on another filename than he had and he changed it. Maybe it should just take several entries.

Oh, good point.
