Re: Some place else to download a2gameserver?

["Nama" <forums6000@mac.com>]

Sorry to ask so many questions.
I have been trying to get AGS (the latest version) working under OS X,
however when I type the following to launch the Java app under the OS X
terminal:

java -Djava.library.path=lib -cp lib:lib/RXTXcomm.jar -jar dist/ags.jar

/dev/ttyS1 apple2e

I get this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
InputStream cannot be null
        at
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(DocumentBuilder.java:94)
        at ags.game.Games.parseConfiguration(Games.java:139)
        at ags.game.Games.readFromFile(Games.java:74)
        at ags.Main.main(Main.java:63)

Does anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong and what
'InputStream cannot be null' means? Has anyone had any success using
AGS with OS X before?

Thanks again.

Phil
