missing closing tag

[Lord_Tiberius]

I've just compiled wesnoth 1.1.2a
Here are my computer's major specifications:
Athlon XP 1800+
SlackWare Linux 10.2

to compile, I simply made

Code: Select all

./configure
make
make install

When I try to start Wesnoth, he says me this:

Code: Select all

error config: preprocessor symbol 'UNIT_BODY_SOULLESS' expects 2 
arguments, but has 4 arguments at 83 
/usr/local/share/wesnoth/data/units/Undead_Corpse_Soulless.cfg 10 
data/units.cfg 494 data/game.cfg

/usr/local/share/wesnoth/data/units/Undead_Corpse_Necrophage.cfg:63 
included from data/units.cfg:10 included from data/game.cfg:494

And then it exits...
I checked the file /usr/local/share/wesnoth/data/units/Undead_Corpse_Necrophage.cfg and no animation tag is missing...

First post here, so I feel compelled to say before I start complaining, "Fantastic game! I am way impressed!"

I'm having a similar issue with the Windows version of 1.1.5; for me, it's that Undead_Corpse_Soulless.cfg is missing a unit tag. Or rather, that's the only error I get to the screen; I'm getting the argument error as well if I look in stderr.txt. This is on a Windows XP SP2 box; more details available upon request.

I tried fiddling with the configuration file manually, but couldn't seem to get the behavior to change no matter where I put the tags. By comparison to other 1.1.5 units, it looks to my naive eye like the unit is missing unit tags completely, both opening and closing. I tried looking at the 1.0.2 config files for inspiration, but it looks like the format has changed rather substantially. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide; can this possibly be happening to everybody on Windows?

Make sure you haven't installed on top of a previous install. Always completely remove any previous version if you install to the same location.

Since this crop up all the time I've added it to the read me first thread.

That did indeed do the trick. Apologies for bringing up a well-known problem, I suppose, but I didn't see any other reference to it in the forums or the bug tracker. Good call on the readme. Thanks!

I had the same problem, and now it's solved. Must say: It looks better and better for each version!
