Vmap extractor not working

[woose]

Hi,

This is the second time on a different machine that I'm installing Trinity on, and yet again when trying to extract the vmaps I get this:

(while in the WoW client directory:)

$ /home/trinity/server/bin/vmap4extractor

Your output directory seems to be polluted, please use an empty directory!
<press return to exit>

I can't figure out what that means.  I'm following the instructions and everything has worked so far, but what exactly is "polluted?"  There's nothing unusual about my client, so i don't know.   Searches turn up nothing, so am I the only person having this problem?

Thanks,

Steve

Did you create the vmaps directory first and is it empty?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.   I just did create a directory called vmaps (under the WoW client root) and it is empty, but I still get the same error.

Well it's working now.  It turns out I had a Buildings folder already there and it didn't like that.  After deleting it everything worked as it should. 

Thanks!
