- Which Linux are you using?
- Which version of FreeOrion did you download? The "official" 0.3.9 from sourceforge, or a version from psitronic.de?

Be sure you have installed python2.4! See the README at http://psitronic.de/div/FO/README.txt !

Please do the following to help debugging:

Code: Select all

ldd /opt/freeorion/application/freeorion
Post the output here!

Ah, so thats not the version I built. Who's the maintainer of that package?

rev2561 is outdated, though I think it should have worked.

Maybe your graphics card does not support openGL 1.4 and therefore the game crashes without any error message. What card do you have installed and which drivers are you using?

You could provide the following output:

Code: Select all

glxinfo
And you could run the game from a console, maybe then you see an error message:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/freeorion/application
strace -o /tmp/trace.log ./freeorion
Be sure you have "strace" installed. Then upload the file /tmp/trace.log . Use http://pastebin.com/ if you have no webspace and provice the link to the upload.

Maybe you could join IRC at irc.freenode.org Channel #freeorion to solve your problem "live".

hm...I"m not actually sure if that version it's right. Looking at the package, it's actually downloading "http://psitronic.de/div/FO/latest.tar.gz", so I assume it's the latest version.

here's my glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/m4dc0f65f

running strace gave: open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy

The sound-problem should not be the reason for the crash. Send/paste the full output of strace.
