mod issue 0.4.7

[sin]

I am running Linuxmint 15 Cinnamon, Minetest 0.4.7 stable. Mods are copied to ./minetest/mods. When I try to active a mod, minetest closes. No error message. Simply goes blank. I've tried reinstalling. The mods are named correctly (to what is in the lua file). Anyone have any suggestions?

Activate in the GUI? Um, I have no idea what the issue is- and since the server doesn't appear to be starting, we're not going to get any logs. Khan-sider (sorry, Consider) grabbing the source and Khan-piling (sorry, compiling. I have to stop the wordplay).

Afaik starting minetest starts the wrinting to debug.txt. Open debug.txt, maybe there is some info in it (or paste it here)

Else:
How did you get minetest 0.4.7? I myself always prefer the latest version above the 'stable'. If you didn't try to build it yourself. Look under Compiling on GNU/Linux (scrool down after following this link to the Github:
https://github.com/minetest/minetest

or try VanessaE her linux build:

GUIConfigureWorld: Not allowing focus change.

this error seems to repeat in the debut.txt log. thanks, topywo, i should have thought to look there. I will try to build it and see what happens.

That isnt an error, just some Irrlicht stuff, its completly normal.
