how to get alpha centauri work

[edemark]

Hi all I know that this is an easy issue but i just cannot find to solve it

I got hold on a copy of the linux version of alpha centauri. I made a succesfull install than I can almost start the game. I can choose between aplha centauri and alien crossfire but after that tha game crashes on segmentation fault and write something about glibc2.1 but I do not know what to do next to make it work. The game is on the ubuntu gamers site so I guess that the game should work.

Any idea what shall I do?

thanks in advance

To start with it would have helped to have the correct error message.
"ubuntu gamers site"? If there is a forum or mail list there it probably would have been the best place to ask.

I am very interested in your plight, I loved that game on windoze, years ago, & if you get it happening, I may go for it again!

Please let us know your solution if it does not come from this thread?

Thanks :KS
