        @Melvin.FoX said in lr-mame2014 and lr-mame not working:

        /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/pacman.zip

        when i type it in withe the correct info to my setup (my roms are on an external harddrive and work because i have mame2010 and mame2003 running the roms just fine) i immediately get a "segmentation fault"

          @edmaul69 So it's the very same problem that I had! You have some problems with mame2014 compilation. First of all You should check your log (I know it's long... but use Find option and look for keywords like error, invalid, can't, couldn't, not etc.). You can find it in ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/.
          In my case there was a problem with connection (so it couldn't check and find necessary libraries to compile mame2014) because I made a typo in wget app config (wget is a program that downloads a file directly to your hard drive). You can edit file /etc/wgetrc and add there line withinet4_only = on. In my case that solved any further problems.
          Do be careful after taking any further steps because I screwed my whole setup after some updates (do backup!).

          You should do some updates:

          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get upgrade

          This will update the list of possible packages and their versions from repository and then will download and install if anything will be found.
          If everything is up to date and connection to all needed repositories works than You should be able to compile mame2014 without problems.

          Try steps I gave You. If it still doesn't work than You have to try set strict DNS settings. Easier will be to set it on your Internet access device (wireless or wired router). Set DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 and set that this address will be forced to all devices. If it doesn't work or You have no access than You have to set it up on your RetroPie system.
