Re: need help walking through diku set up c++

In many cases, MUD administrators who release code sometimes sabotage it upon release (either intentionally or inadvertantly). This is because many times there are parts that are not packaged with the release. Check to see if your code comes with a startup script. If it compiled ok, you're on your way to getting it operating.

Of course, there is always this failsafe:

linuxrompt$ cd area ; nohup ../src/<mud name> <port> &

Which will detach a process running the mud on a specific port until the machine reboots or the process is killed.
