Most Linux systems do not experience this problem. If your system is 64-bit, I think you may need 32-bit versions of the sound libraries. Let us know if that fixes the problem. |
|
|
I run a full multilib system, I have 32-bit versions of everything. Which sound libraries does DF use, maybe I simply don't have them installed to begin with? |
|
|
I think fmodex? I'm not sure. |
|
|
Reminder sent to: Baughn Might need some assistance on this one. |
|
|
maybe this thread is related: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=62159.0 with that issue, you had to make hardlinks to the libraries in the /lib directory under the names expected by df - maybe that can help here? |
|
|
I haven't had a chance to try 34.05 yet, but I'm also running 64bit Gentoo on an AMD system. I will check this when I get home from work this evening (approx 5 hrs). |

That assertion failure implies a version mismatch between the installed libsndfile and the one DF was compiled against; it is unfortunately not wholly compatible. You should be able to play if you turn sound off in init.txt, but it'd be nice to map this out (and I'll put a check in for next version). For reference, mine is /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.25. Which do you have? (On a 64-bit system, it'll be /usr/lib32) |
|
|
Mine appears to be /usr/lib32/libsndfile.so.1.0.25 Looks like we have the same version, so that should make things easier! And you are correct, turning sound off allows the game to launch with no problems- thanks! Since there's a functional workaround, the priority can probably be dropped down to high or medium. I'd do it myself but I can't seem to locate how, if I'm able to do so at all. |
|
|
Actually, this is an outright bug in your distro; the assertion failure is from a sanity check testing whether compilation worked or not. It apparently didn't. As it is, your copy of libsndfile cannot possibly work with *any* application. You should file a bug against the distro. |
