You're probably missing some 32-bit SDL libraries. I'm on a 32-bit machine at the moment so I can't confirm anything, but I've fixed this sort of thing before. Shall I give you my public key?

Not strictly related to the FotF, but I'm curious...
What text editor do you prefer to use when developing/writing raws?

DF General Discussion / Re: The Perfect Computer to run Dwarf Fortress

One that supports tmpfs. The time it takes to save the world to a spinning disk is huge, saving to a tmpfs then copying it to the disk in the background is a lot faster.
You could feasibly modify the `df' launch script that's distributed with the Linux version of the game to mount -t tmpfs tmpfs ./data/save/ && cp -r ./data/save.real/* ./data/save/ and clean up afterwards with cp -r ./data/save/* ./data/save.real/ && umount ./data/save/.
This advice applies mostly to generating a world and Adventuring. Fortress mode won't benefit much. The biggest difference you'd see is that your seasonal auto-saves are faster. Also, this advice is pointless if you have one of them fancy pants solid state drives.

Ah sorry, I didn't think of that. If you gave me some more information, I'd be happy to file a bug report for you.
I'll need to know which version of Dwarf Fortress you're running, and which version of OS X.

Based on that error, and the contents of g_src/init.cpp, it looks like Toady has a problem with his build chain. Specifically, he's probably missing a "-DCURSES" somewhere. I suggest you file a report on the bug tracker.

Newfoundland / Border Collie crosses. No other breed compares, as far as I'm concerned. Especially not little yapping rat-dogs...

Depending on how much free tech support you're willing to offer, you could setup a local copy of the wiki using a local install of MediaWiki/PHP/Apache. Just make sure that Apache isn't listening to anything besides 127.0.0.1 and import the wiki from here: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Export

It is Linux, it's just got a strange userspace that you won't find anywhere else...
