Help w/ The Mana World

[isaacf]

I just installed the Debain package for The Mana World (http://themanaworld.org/) and it won't run. I have the icon in the games menu, and apt-get didn't give me any errors when installing, but whenever I run it nothing happens. Any thoughts?

Have you tried running it through the terminal. Maybe under sudo. If it works with sudo you may need to change the permissions.


Just take my advice with a grain of salt, very much a newbie.

I ran it in the command line and it gave me this error.

has anyone tried from source? maybe the required lib is provided?

Indeed, even though we fail to note this on the website at the moment, the apt repository of The Mana World (http://themanaworld.org) currently only works for Debian testing or unstable (Etch or Sid).

One option is to compile Guichan (http://guichan.sourceforge.net/) and The Mana World yourself, see this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86041) for a bit of trouble shooting.

What I forgot to note there is that you'll encounter problems when compiling Guichan with GCC 4 because of a warning in combination with the -Werror option. See this forum thread (http://guichan.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?3,335) for the small modification required to the Guichan source.
