Hullo,
Seems that after updating my dedicated server (and my client too) to 1.66 I get the following error when trying to load nwserver:
./nwserver: error while loading shared libraries: libktrace-gcc2.96.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Now as far as I can tell this library is a very old KDE SDK library. This did NOT happen with 1.65! I do not have this library and I know of no place to get it apart from a very old (and defunct on even relatively updated systems) Redhat 7.0 rpm. Any suggestions? Is this a known issue? As a C and C++ developer this seems strongly as if someone accidentally linked in a library that they ought not have... should be fast enough to fix if someone there realizes it. Suggestions? (downloading the file would likely not be profitable as it was compiled with gcc 2.96 and the Linux ABI (yes, ABI, not API) has long since changed with the advent of gcc 3.0 and later...)
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ummm, that bears a suspicious resemblance to a error in compilation.
I'm downloading the patches (1.66 must of just recently made it out the door) and will follow up w/ what I can find. Most likely it'll be up to Bioware to fix.

Yup, its borked.
It looks like ktrace is part of (as you found) a old KDE malloc debugger.
It looks like you might be able to get away with:
(Save this as ktrace.c)
Compile with:
then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing your newly stubbed out libktrace-gcc2.96.so.1 ie: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
NWServer will at least load now, dunno if it'll work.
(I suspect I'll be cloning this post over in the Server admin forums)

already did something similar actually... interestingly enough the nwserver binary doesn't seem to call anything from the library... so just having a do-nothing lib there called that seems to fix it.

ktrace() is called at least once curiously enough.
Stub routine doesn't seem to harm anything though..

I tried the above solution and I get a segfault while loading the module.  |

Dunno then. I'd try it at least twice before giving up. nwserver has always had a few issues segfaulting on me.
Your only other option is to grab the source RPM from RedHat, and rebuild the library.
I've sent a note off to the one Bioware Linux programmer I know of, however, I'm not going to hold my breath on him getting it tonight.

Good to hear that you're gonna rebuild the Linux server....
..only that for me it is the client that is borked. |

To clarify, the patch, for Linux Dedicated server, is 404.
The dedicated server itself, as a complete download, is fine.. Guess I'll just use that to patch. |

Except that it isn't.
The Linux Standalone Server patch update still has a linuxdedserver166.tar.gz archive which does not contain data/xp2patch.bif, and still has a nwserver executable that wants that trace library....
Quite honestly, at this point I'm afraid to try using the update patch for the Linux HotU client....
