Can't launch the game, segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hi,
I've found this game lurking around and i decided to try it.
I've installed using the setup.sh but now i'm unable to start it, this is the error:

Code:

$ freeorion-start 
I am Symlink. Following into my targets basedir
CWD: /usr/local/games/freeorion/application
   libpython2.5.so.1.0 => not found
python2.5 missing. Using shipped version.
PYTHONHOME=python2.5
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

First, it's strange that he tries to use the provided 2.5 python, i've the latest python installed:

Code:

stefo@3141-slave:~$ python3.2 --version
Python 3.2.3
stefo@3141-slave:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.3

I've used the default path during the installation (providing superuser privileges to the setup.sh script), i'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Can someone help me? I can't figure out what the problem is.

Edit: further information:
launching the game with sudo gives the same output in the console but a black window launches and crashes a couple of seconds after. Launching the game with the --gdb provides this:

Code:

$ freeorion-start --gdb
I am Symlink. Following into my targets basedir
CWD: /usr/local/games/freeorion/application
   libpython2.5.so.1.0 => not found

What version are you trying to run, and where did you get it? If it's the old statically linked Linux build, it's a few years old now and not really supported. You'll likely need to build it yourself, or try to find a newer build.

You're right, i've taken the linked "latest" version, 3.15. I've downloaded via svn the latest sources, i'm trying to build it myself now, i'll keep you posted!
Thanks!

Any Luck? I have the same issue.

Where are instructions for compile?

Thanks.
