Toady,

Use ldd get the list of libraries linked into your executable:

Unfortunately this still doesn't work for me.  I seem to remember linking the ncurses library to the ncursesw library was enough to get 40d working in text mode on my old kubuntu 9.04 install but it isn't working on my 10.04 install.


Here's a screenshot of what my embark wagon and dwarves look like.  It looks like all animals, items, and dwarves are represented by the letter 'M'.  The window borders are messed up as well.

I've double checked I can view a UTF-8 demo http://www.w3.org/2001/06/utf-8-test/UTF-8-demo.html in konsole (both inside and outside my terminal multiplexer) and I've even gone as far as create some files named with unicode characters and verify I can view them in my curses based file manager.

I've also double checked I've got the following environment variables set:

export LANG=en_US.utf-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8

So everything here suggests the game is at fault - but if datalurkur can get it to work on Arch I must have something configured improperly...

greycat: I had problems with sound on my kubuntu 9.04 box while testing one of the 40d releases. 

The "ogg not found" message was fixed by compiling a newer version of libsndfile.  The library that shipped with that version of ubuntu (1.0.17) didn't support ogg.  ogg support was added in version 1.0.18 (I had to compile libvorbis to compile this version...)

Of course now I'm running 10.04 and the sound is broken again (I hate pulse audio).

JGT:

On linux run the 'df' script from the terminal rather than the dwarfort.exe. 

./df

I've been waiting eagerly for the next installment thinking you had hosting/RL issues.  Apparently it was just a broken link:

On this page: http://www.dfa.webatu.com/index.html?page=111079  The link points to '11080' instead of '111080'

On the upside, now I can read several comics in a row

I'm one of those curious programmers.  Is the git repository public or is it just the source code?  I'm unable to do a git-clone with your url.

ha,

actually I was poor college student at the time.  I found a list of materials someone used to make their own - but no plans.  The cost of materials was < $200.  That didn't seem right so I came up with my own (pretty crappy) design and realized the materials *would* be less than $200 total.  At that point I had a design, a list of materials, and lots of open space; if I didn't build it, it would have been a crime against humanity.

Here's another pictures I always liked. 
For my brothers wedding we filled a pumpkin with gasoline and tried to make a giant molotov cocktail - the wick went out in mid air...

Pictures from a mine in Siberia reminded of your struggles in the icy tundra:

Unfortunately no pictures of skelks...
