Zsnes 1.42 SDL error

[Strag0]

I've had one mind numbing error when trying to run Zsnes 1.42. Every time I try to execute the program I get a SDL error. "Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)" I've installed All SDL Libs That I think I needed and I still get these. I'd try the WIP version of Zsnes but I can't get the Source to compile correctly.

Does anyone know a fix for this SDL error?

Thank you!

Maybe one is still missing? Try the package libsdl-debian-all (or something like that)

Or, if you like, I have a deb I made from the zsnes cvs a couple of months ago:

Thanks! Your CVS .deb worked perfectly.

Now to see if It'll hold up to some game playing.

No problem. If there are any show stoppers, you can try this simple script I made to grab the cvs and build it (or try to build it ;) ):

######
#bash

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/zsnes login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/zsnes co -P zsnes
cd zsnes/src

./autogen.sh

make

Off the top of my head you need : sdl-dev, nasm, autogen, autoconf, build-essential, libpng-dev, zlib-dev, cvs, (and if you want to make your own debs: checkinstall).

Anyway, I notice the forms turns d and : into that smiley... but if you copy it into clipboard should be normal.
